Additionally, the regulation adopts a nationally recognized, standardized stroke-triage assessment tool, posted on the Department's website and distributed to all Emergency Medical Services ("EMS") agencies licensed by the Department.

The Department had a Notice of Drafting published in the State Register on April 28, 2017.
