This document discusses the importance of acting fast when someone is having a stroke. It notes that 1,900,000 brain cells are damaged every second during a stroke. The FAST test is recommended to check for stroke symptoms. The document then imagines a system called iSTROKE Register that would allow medical staff to enter, view, and collect stroke data in real-time from different locations and departments to more efficiently diagnose and treat patients having a stroke.

1. What can you
do in 3 hours?

2. See a film, watch a game of football or
play a quick round of golf perhaps?

3. You can also prevent a devastating
BRAIN ATTACK (aka STROKE)
leading to long term disability

5. 1,900,000 brain cells are
damaged EVERY SECOND

6. Not only must you act F.A.S.T.
Has their face Can they raise Is their Time to call
fallen on one both arms and speech 999 if you see

7. Medical staff act fast from attendance

8. …. to arrival

9. …. to emergency care

10. …. to diagnosis/prognosis

11. But they could act even faster with …

12. Imagine !

13. Imagine !
The ability to ENTER stroke data in real-time
at various stages of a patient’s pathway
• Real time data entry (less paper-based
data entry = dramatic efficiency increases)
• At any specified locations of the patient’s
pathway (even in the ambulance)

14. Imagine !
The ability to VIEW in real-time stroke data
and patient assessment:
• By multidisciplinary team
• Summary of the Patients Stroke Journey
• View patient assessment from another
hospital or community setting

15. Imagine !
The ability to COLLECT in real-time additional
SINAP data requirements:
• Increases the efficiency of your data input
and output

16. iSTROKE Register System
IMAGINE NO MORE with our
Web Based Stroke Register
integrating
• Acute Stroke Units
• Rehab Wards
• GP Practices
• Community Teams
