SS4CSHC: A Services System for the Collaboration in Stroke Healthcare Cycle

Stroke remains the third leading cause of death. The rising of stroke illness and the continuous aging of the global population requires a collaboration of stroke services systems based on relations and exchange of information to address needs of caregiver and patients in the healthcare community. The collaborative stroke services system involves interconnected changes and the development of integrated healthcare information systems and novel healthcare services. We present the SS4CSHC, a services system for the collaboration in stroke healthcare cycle, to contribute to information sharing and cooperation for the stroke surveillance, prevention, emergency therapy, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Some of critical and novel stroke healthcare services are developed and deployed, and innovative models and services for delivery and the coordination of stroke healthcare are explored by the stroke healthcare center. The feasibility and efficiency of our services systems are validated in the local medical institutes.
