When it comes to stroke care, every second counts. Patient outcomes depend on how quickly diagnosis and treatment can be initiated, yet delays and fragmented workflows continue to limit access to proven interventions such as mechanical thrombectomy. Learn how Siemens Healthineers and Vall d’Hebron University Hospital, Spain, partnered to transform stroke care by implementing a "One Step Stroke" approach, streamlining the entire care pathway.
The collaboration delivered measurable improvements across the stroke pathway. Treatment times were significantly reduced, including a 67% decrease in door‑to‑groin time (from 45 to 15 minutes), contributing to an overall reduction of approximately 40 minutes from stroke onset to post‑intervention care. These changes were associated with improved functional outcomes, shorter hospital stays for moderate stroke patients, and lower readmission rates. Vall d’Hebron is now extending these optimized practices across its network, illustrating how structured workflow redesign can support consistent, high‑quality stroke care.
