Bill Summary

Relative to pre-hospital care protocols related to the assessment, treatment and transport of stroke patients. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish pre-hospital care protocols related to the assessment, treatment, and transport of stroke patients by licensed emergency medical services (EMS) providers in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: - Requiring regional EMS councils to collaborate with the Department of Public Health to develop protocols for triaging and transporting stroke patients, particularly those suspected of having an emergent large vessel occlusion, to the closest facility that offers advanced neuroendovascular treatment within a specified timeframe. - Prioritizing the direct transport of patients suspected of having an emergent large vessel occlusion to a facility that provides neuroendovascular treatment, even if it requires air transport out of the local region. - Ensuring that if a patient is initially taken to a facility without neuroendovascular capabilities, they are promptly transferred to a facility that can provide the necessary advanced treatment. - Defining "facilities with the capabilities to properly assess, diagnose using advanced imaging devices, and treat stroke patients with complex cases of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, and perform mechanical thrombectomy 24/7" as the criteria for identifying facilities that offer neuroendovascular treatment.
