According to the 2007 publication Implementation Strategies for Emergency Medical Services within Stroke Systems of Care, “The effective integration of EMS for stroke involves complex interactions among the public, 9-1-1 call center personnel, EMS providers, emergency department (ED) providers, and stroke care specialists. The most important goals for prehospital care for stroke patients include the identification of the stroke patient in the field, the provision of appropriate prehospital care to the patient, and the transport of the patient to the most appropriate hospital. All of these goals should be achieved in the shortest amount of time possible.”
