How can we save precious time—and lives—when it comes to stroke? Through training and research.
We’re of two of our nurses who partnered with local police officers in a pilot program that dramatically improved officers’ ability to recognize stroke signs using the BEFAST tool—boosting accuracy to 100%!
Because every minute counts, this training helps close the dangerous gap between a patient’s first encounter and life-saving medical care.
The results were so remarkable that the team expanded the work into a formal study and published it in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
