Alabama launches statewide plan to speed Life-Saving stroke care

NCT ID NCT04978480

Summary

This study is testing a new statewide system to improve emergency care for the most severe strokes. It aims to get patients who need a specialized clot-removal procedure to the right hospital faster by coordinating ambulance crews and hospital resources through a central communications center. The goal is to increase access to this effective treatment and reduce racial, economic, and geographic disparities in who receives it.
