June 2, 2022
Minutes matter when a stroke patient is being rushed to hospital, and any delay in care can impact their chance of survival and recovery.
Knowing how vital every second is for these patients, UBC Okanagan’s Dr. Amir Ardestani-Jaafari and Dr. Beste Kucukyazici from Michigan State University have analyzed transportation procedures and triage protocols to ensure stroke patients get the right level of care at the right time. Dr. Ardestani-Jaafari is an Assistant Professor in UBCO’s Faculty of Management and he specializes in health-care operations and logistics.
