AI Summary
This bill aims to develop a coordinated stroke care system in Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Public Health to take several actions, including: (1) training emergency medical services (EMS) personnel on the FAST-ED stroke scale, (2) regularly reviewing and improving data collection related to stroke patient management, (3) validating and providing guidance to Primary Stroke Service hospitals, (4) launching a public education campaign on stroke symptoms, and (5) developing recommendations to enhance data collection and documentation of stroke patient information. The bill also allows the Department to amend its point of entry plan to enable direct transport of stroke patients to endovascular thrombectomy-capable facilities, and requires the Department to provide EMS personnel and Primary Stroke Service hospitals with access to statewide stroke metrics and hospital-specific data reports.
