Health Sciences North’s innovative MOTIVE project helping patients recover faster, go home sooner
An innovative stroke care model at Health Sciences North (HSN) is changing the game for stroke patients in the Sudbury District, offering faster access to care and fewer hospital admissions with an aim of easing pressure on a stretched healthcare system.
The MObile TIA and Stroke with AdaptiVE Workflow (MOTIVE) project brings an expert team directly to patients — wherever they are in the hospital — for early assessment, co-ordinated treatment planning, and streamlined access to rehabilitation. A stroke happens when blood stops flowing to a part of the brain, or bleeding occurs in the brain, leading to the death of brain cells.
