Bill > S2768

This bill aims to create a statewide standard pre-hospital care protocol for the assessment, treatment, and transport of stroke patients by emergency medical services providers. The protocol will be based on national evidence-based guidelines, consider crossing state lines, and include plans for the triage and transport of suspected stroke patients to appropriate facilities within a specified time frame. The bill also requires the Department of Public Health to incorporate national evidence-based quality and utilization metrics for stroke care into the standard quality measure set and to promulgate the necessary regulations within 3 months of the bill's effective date.
