Overview
Brief Summary
A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China, will be randomized into two arms (1:1): an intervention arm and a control arm.
Hospitals in the intervention arm will receive a multilevel intervention based on the AACTT theory, whereas hospitals in the control arm will receive no intervention and maintain routine care. All the hospitals will receive electronic monitoring. Hospitals with no stroke center or with <20 cases received thrombolysis per year will be excluded from the study.
