Organized stroke systems of care include Primary Stroke Center (PSC) certification and preferential emergency medical services (EMS) routing of suspected patients with stroke to designated PSCs.

We evaluated the relationship between independent adoption of EMS routing protocols and PSC designation acquisition in California.
