Do the Brain Attack Coalition's Criteria for Stroke Centers Improve Care for Ischemic Stroke?
Neurol 64:422-427, Douglas, V.C., et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Of the 11 stroke center elements recommended by the BAC, 7 were associated with increased tPA use. Institutions with a greater number of these seven features used tPA more often, suggesting these key elements may be most important for primary stroke center designation, at least in terms of identifying centers that deliver IV tPA frequently.
