Memorial Health University Medical Center developed a TeleStroke platform in collaboration with Georgia Partnership for TeleHealth to expand stroke care to rural hospitals. The TeleStroke platform uses a hub-and-spoke model with real-time audio/video conferencing to allow Memorial Health stroke specialists to evaluate patients at community hospitals and determine if tPA administration is appropriate within the treatment window. The TeleStroke program aims to increase tPA treatment for eligible stroke patients and improve patient outcomes in the region.
