Description

In January 2006, a stroke team was organized at Asahikawa Medical College, consisting of members in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, cardiology and radiology, to promote the acceleration and standardization of stroke management. To assess the significance of the stroke team, we compared the data obtained among those before and after the stroke team had been established, and data from the Japanese stroke data bank 2005. We surveyed all 158 stroke patients under our stroke team in 2006. The clinical characteristics of these stroke patients were similar to those of the Japanese stroke data bank 2005. Access times to our hospital became remarkably shortened after the stroke team had been established because of notification to the ambulance office. It was found that stroke management in at Asahikawa Medical College Hospital had been accelerated and standardized by the stroke team setup. For further improvement in the quality of stroke management, a stroke care unit is essential.<br>
