ResumoTelemedicine as a mode of delivery for clinical neurology has been established as a standard model in stroke systems of care for >10 years1,2 When considering the use of technology to increase access to care, stroke is the perfect paradigm in the acute setting, allowing us to bring the doctor to the patient for rapid evaluation and treatment decisions. Impact on clinical outcomes is easily evaluated in telestroke, and we see a measurable impact on public health, including increased tissue plasminogen activator delivery and development of stroke units, particularly in low-resource areas without full-time neurology coverage.3
