Exploring strategies for management of in-hospital stroke in Sweden: A qualitative study

This study identified differences in workflows for IHS management across the six included sites. A "key player" emerged as a common denominator, who was called as the initiation of the stroke alert and had mandate to proceed with the alert to immediate radiology. Clear guidelines for contacting the "key player" and increased education about IHS were suggested as possible ways to mitigate delays to activate the stroke alert.
