Stroke: Brain Attack Coalition updates care guidelines for primary stroke centers
Primary stroke centers improve care and are an important component in the care continuum of stroke patients. In the September issue of Stroke, members of the Brain Attack Coalition updated recommendations for the formation and operation of primary stroke centers (PSC) with the goal of enhancing diagnoses and improving care.
