Résumé
Stroke can cause severe disability and death in the adult population. Many stroke patients do not have access to resources required to provide a timely diagnosis and treatment. Telestroke can provide these patients the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment they require. Telestroke has been linked to improved functional outcomes in the treatment of acute ischemic strokes. There are several barriers to providing a telestroke service, such as licensure and liability, reimbursement, technology, and financial issues. It is important to recognize these barriers and begin to implement strategies to overcome them. Telestroke use is cost-effective by reducing stroke complications and disabilities.
