A system and method for diagnosing neurological syndromes is described. A form-based data entry device is used to collect data about the current state of the patient, and the data is supplemented by such data as may be available for a patient history medical data base. A rule-based analysis engine is used to process the data so as to produce a diagnosis of one of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or other non-stroke syndrome, and a suitable care path recommended. The rule-based engine may be modified to reflect the capabilities and diagnostic equipment suite available at a specific medical facility, and to implement a version of an approved medical protocol consistent with the local constraints. The diagnosis is linkable to a suitable care path plan. Some of all of the form-based data may be entered by emergency personnel while the patient is in transit to the treatment facility.
