Stroke Code 1.1.1

Stroke Code is a comprehensive clinical decision support and evaluation tool that has recently introduced real-time collaborative healthcare features to better facilitate telehealth and telestroke care. The tool aims to optimize acute stroke care efficiency from initial assessment to treatment implementation. Developed by the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs, Stroke Code is a sophisticated mobile application tailored to streamline the evaluation and management of acute stroke cases.

Integrating the latest NIH stroke scale and American Heart Association guidelines, Stroke Code offers real-time guidance on critical decisions such as alteplase administration and endovascular transfers in a user-friendly interface, ensuring adherence to best practices in stroke care.

The recent addition of real-time healthcare collaboration capabilities allows synchronized data entry and display between remote clinicians and hospital staff, enabling seamless information sharing and decision-making. This synchronization feature ensures that vital information, including NIH Stroke Scale values and other pertinent data, is promptly reflected across all users, enhancing coordination and efficiency during patient care.

Stroke Code boasts a range of advanced functionalities designed to support accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions, such as robust networking capabilities for uninterrupted connectivity, a responsive user interface with keyboard shortcuts for efficient data entry, and automatic documentation generation for comprehensive medical records.

This tool not only facilitates bedside use but also enables remote neurologists to actively participate in code stroke scenarios through the app, fostering collaboration among medical teams. By offering real-time information exchange and decision support features, Stroke Code contributes significantly to timely and effective stroke care delivery, aligning with the critical principle that "Time is Brain," as emphasized by Camilo Gomez, M.D.
