The Challenge PSJH has been providing telestroke services regionally in excess of 10 years. In 2015, PSJH made a decision to consolidate from 10 regional telestroke programs to a single standardized telestroke network across all PSJH and non-PSJH partner sites. The goals of this program consolidation were to: • Address the growing demand for telestroke services given an aging population and neurologist shortage. • Increase access to 24/7/365 stroke care – 60% of the PSJH Stroke Network hospitals are critical access and rural hospitals • Provide best-in-class stroke care and improve clinical outcomes at PSJH and non-PSJH sites • Reduce the overall cost of delivering telestroke services.
