PRE-HOSPITAL STROKE CARE
PRE-HOSPITAL STROKE CARE
When it comes to stroke patient care, every moment counts. In this infographic, biospatial expounds on the various ways pre-hospital stroke care data can be used to improve patient outcomes. The biospatial platform provides access to >130M electronic Patient Care Reports (ePCRs) from thousands of EMS providers across the United States. Read on to learn more about the types of pre-hospital stroke data available, and how these data can be used to improve patient outcomes.

TYPES OF STROKE
the American Heart Association has determined that 64% of stroke patients arrive at the hospital by EMS
Hemorrhagic
64%
artery blood leak or rupture, causing intracranial pressure to build
PRE-HOSPITAL INSIGHTS
“mini-stroke,” an ischemic sub-type where blood flow quickly resumes
15% of stroke patients asked the EMS provider to take them to a specific hospital
hospitals received a prehospital alert for 43% of stroke patients transported by EMS
% of suspected-stroke transports

The graph above shows a grouping of EMS agencies’ performance against the biospatial national average using the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program Quality Performance Measures. The graphic below explains how each Coverdell measure is applied to suspected-stroke transports.
% with an on-scene time <15 minutes
% that had a documented time last known to be well
% that had a documented time of discovery
% that had a thrombolytic stroke check completed
USES FOR PRE-HOSPITAL STROKE DATA
as real-world evidence:
discover trends and visualize by geography, time, medical conditions, and patient demographics
analyze near real-time access to EMS stroke volumes in your area
compare performance quality metrics to national standards
in clinical trials:
monitor and get near real-time alerts for patient recruitment
02
use patient demographics to ensure diversity in clinical trial participants
recruit patients into studies requiring short consent windows
