The pilot project, in partnership with Ambulance New Brunswick, is said to be reducing the time to below the national standard. Taking place at Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in Fredericton, the project changed the average time from arrival to receiving a CT scan at the hospital to 14 minutes, down from an average of 67 minutes before its implementation. The national standard is 15 minutes. Once paramedics identify someone as a potential stroke victim, they alert ED staff who then enact the stroke team and find the estimated time of arrival, which ensures imaging staff are ready to perform the CT scan as soon as possible.
