Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. On average, someone has a stroke every 40 seconds. The gaps for patients diagnosed with a stroke are the availability of physicians who specialize in stroke care and access to evidence-based stroke care. Telemedicine has assisted in bridging this gap to provide effective stroke treatment. The purpose of this article is to describe how the implementation of a hub and spoke model using telemedicine has assisted in increasing patient access to neurology expertise and receiving evidence-based treatment of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, thereby improving patient outcomes.
中风是美国第四大死因。平均每40秒就有人中风。中风患者面临的差距在于缺乏专门从事中风护理的医生以及难以获得循证中风护理。远程医疗有助于弥合这一差距，以提供有效的中风治疗。本文旨在描述如何通过实施基于远程医疗的中心辐射模式，帮助增加患者获得神经学专业知识的机会，并接受重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂的循证治疗，从而改善患者的治疗效果。
