Abstract:
To overcome the bottlenecks of treatment for stroke and comprehensively improve the treatment efficiency, we need to do three jobs: public health education, entering hospital in time, and specialized stroke treatment. Lack of public knowledge about stroke is the most important bottleneck restricting the treatment of stroke in China. Public health education is the foundation of treatment for stroke. Another bottleneck is whether the patients can enter a capable hospital in time. Optimizing the referral system, establishing a regional stroke network, and applying modern referral tools and information network can help the patients entering the target hospital in time. Specialized treatment of stroke refers to the quick access to professional treatment for stroke, which requires to avoid delay in hospital; and the effective strategy is to build and optimize the green channel for stroke treatment.
