Multimodal strategy in the successful implementation of a stroke unit in a community hospital.
Thrombolysis in stroke remains underutilized in daily practice. We analyzed the impact of a multimodal strategy on the rate of thrombolysis and specific procedure times during the implementation of a community hospital stroke unit. ⋯ A multimodal strategy including several structural changes enables the successful implementation of a community hospital stroke unit offering rapid access to thrombolysis with a very short DNT.
