TeleStroke frequently asked questions

What is TeleStroke?

TeleStroke is a virtual care program that uses telemedicine technology, including real-time audio/video, to provide timely evaluation and treatment to stroke patients in the emergency department. This technology is typically established in facilities that cannot offer 24/7 in-person stroke support. TeleStroke programs provide life-saving care to patients experiencing a stroke when a neurologist is not available onsite.

How long does it take to implement a TeleStroke program?

What type of telemedicine equipment is required for a TeleStroke program?

What are the key metrics in a TeleStroke program?

Several key metrics need to be tracked for every TeleStroke program. A few key metrics that can be impacted by a hospital’s choice of TeleStroke partners include:

Encounter activation to TeleStroke specialist acknowledgment
Activation to video
Door to needle
Activation to completion with notes in the chart

AmplifyMD’s TeleStroke technology makes TeleStroke care more efficient across the entire workflow – from activation through billing – and provides real-time data and analytics that support continuous improvement.

Our reporting tools also make it easier to abstract quality metrics for Get with the Guidelines™ reporting.

What are the financial benefits to implementing a TeleStroke program?

Hospitals that implement a TeleStroke program typically see the following financial benefits:

Fewer unnecessary transfers to another hospital for stroke care
Decrease in length of stay for stroke patients
Reduction in inpatient rehabilitation needs
Savings from a fractional coverage model (pay for what you need)
Improved patient outcomes
Increase in revenue from treating more stroke cases

AmplifyMD’s TeleStroke efficiency platform drives even more financial benefits, with cost savings of up to 40% over typical TeleStroke programs.

What type of neurologists typically staff a TeleStroke program?

Neurologists who provide TeleStroke services are typically vascular neurologists, also known as stroke neurologists. These specialists are skilled at diagnosing conditions affecting blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord, including ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. At AmplifyMD, each member of our TeleStroke panel has extensive experience in vascular or neurocritical care and a passion for stroke telemedicine. We seek out individuals who are eager to step into ED settings remotely and understand the urgency of stroke care.

Does a TeleStroke service cover other emergent neurology?

Can we use the AmplifyMD virtual care platform with our own neurologists?

“AmplifyMD’s technology transforms the TeleStroke encounter by leveraging data and automation in real-time to improve response times and care delivery from end-to-end.”
