Fast Facts

Telestroke technology not only facilitates rapid identification and treatment/transport, but it also facilitates identification of patients for whom transfer is not indicated. Examples are stable, small-territory ischemic strokes that can be managed by the community hospital, and devastating hemorrhagic strokes for which there is no acute intervention; comfort measures can be provided to these patients in the community hospital. Telestroke eliminates unnecessary, expensive transport, which has the benefit of controlling healthcare costs as well as saving the family from traveling a distance.
