Stroke Centres
FffRegional & District Centres and Secondary Prevention Clinics
The Ontario Stroke System is based on a three-tiered model consisting of Regional Stroke Centres (RSC), District Stroke Centres (DSC) and community hospitals. Each Regional Stroke Centre and District Stroke Centre must meet designation guidelines and readiness criteria including requirements based on what is currently accepted as the 'gold standard' in acute stroke care. These designated sites have additional roles including organizing the human and medical resources for their region and for developing a regional plan across the continuum of care. The RSCs also have the responsibility of providing leadership for the growth and development of the Ontario Stroke System for their region in partnership with the DSCs, community hospitals, community systems and other key stakeholders. The DSCs provide urgent acute care for areas that are more than one hour away from a RSC. The DSCs work with their RSC and local partners to provide leadership for the coordination and supervision of the continuum of stroke care within their region and participate in ongoing education in stroke care.Secondary Prevention Clinics (SPC) are responsible for working in partnership with primary care, acute care, stroke rehabilitation, community care access centres and other stakeholders in planning regional stroke prevention strategies and for providing an integrated, comprehensive, inter-disciplinary approach to stroke prevention and case management for high-risk patients.
