Telestroke: World-class expertise 24/7 for patients in remote areas
Mayo Clinic's approach to telestroke spans the spectrum of patient care, providing people in remote areas the same level of stroke management achieved at Mayo's stroke centers.
"The morbidity and mortality outcomes in our telestroke network don't differ statistically from the outcomes for patients who present directly to one of Mayo Clinic's stroke centers," says Bart M. Demaerschalk, M.D., a neurologist at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, chair of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases and medical director of Telestroke. "We continue to demonstrate that stroke care can be capably provided for large numbers of patients within their home communities, with telestroke assistance."
