Stroke Resources

UT Medical Center is East Tennessee’s First Joint Commission Accredited, Primary Stroke Center providing “Wisdom for Your Life." The following stroke resources are available for health professionals that allow a better understanding of the stroke capabilities offered at UT Medical Center.
Stroke Orders
Other Stroke Links
NOTICE: These orders and protocols are continuously evolving. We will make every effort to update this site quickly after we have new versions. The user should look for new updates and must use his or her best medical judgement when implementing any of these sets or protocols. These are general sets and may not be appropriate for all patients. Clinical judgement is required in each case and UT Medical Center in no way is attempting to redefine local practice guidelines. These documents reflect the input of national and international agencies whose constituents work in stroke care daily. They do not replace the local standards of care or the medical decision making of the health care providers at the bedside with the patient but hopefully will allow a better understanding of the capabilities brought to you and your patients at UT Medical Center.
