Abstract
The quality of stroke care begins with the standardization of hospital processes.
We present a visually accessible resource for the complex-care process of acute ischemic stroke.
The purpose of this tool is to facilitate decision-making in the management of acute ischemic stroke in any emergency room and to generate a significant impact on the quality of care, reducing median delay times and promoting efficiency and safety in each of its steps.
