Hospitals need a structured emergency response for inpatient stroke, known as Code Gray. This rapid intervention team quickly assesses and treats stroke symptoms in non-stroke patients, improving outcomes and care quality.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Stroke is a critical secondary diagnosis in hospitalized patients.
  • Timely identification and intervention are crucial for non-stroke patients experiencing stroke symptoms.
  • Existing emergency response protocols (e.g., Code Blue) can serve as a model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the necessity of a planned emergency response for inpatient stroke.
  • To introduce and advocate for the implementation of Code Gray.
  • To highlight the benefits of a dedicated stroke emergency team.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing emergency response protocols.
  • Conceptualization of a specialized inpatient stroke response team (Code Gray).
