Abstract 206: Expansion Of Emergency Medical Services Routing For Stroke In The United States [Poster Session II]

Conclusions: In 2010 a majority of stroke patients in the United States were hospitalized in an area with established or transitioning to EMS diversion. This milestone coverage of half the US population is a major advance in systematic stroke care, and emphasizes the need for novel approaches, such as telemedicine, to further extend access to stroke center care to all patients.
