  6. The Transfer Process • Call SLU Hospital One Call Referral Number (1-866-491-0858) when a stroke patient presents • State you have a stroke patient and need to speak to the stroke neurologist • The SLUCare Stroke Neurologist will consult with the community hospital physician and help assess the patient • Outside Hospital pushes the radiology images to SLUH once completed • Outside Hospital calls for transport service if appropriate

  7. Candidates for Transfer • Who should be considered for transfer: Any acute ischemic stroke patient presenting within 0-12 hours regardless of whether they have received IV tPA. If a patient has received IV tPA, the recommendation is not to wait to see if the patient improves. If the NIHSS ≥ 10, transfer consideration is recommended. • What information do we need prior to transfer: Last time the patient was seen normal; non-contrast Head CT findings; NIHSS; pertinent labs (INR, creatinine, etc.); pertinent medical history if available; contact info of family to discuss treatment options (physician may be able to discuss with the family over the phone)
