Piedmont Columbus Regional sits in the heart of the Stroke Belt, where stroke incidence runs 10% above the national average and patient volume keeps climbing. Here’s how a dedicated teleneurology partnership changed their numbers, their outcomes, and their standard of care.
Case Study Highlights
- Learn how Piedmont Columbus improved favorable outcomes for stroke patients, including what their mRS scores looked like after the Eagle implementation
- Discover how a true teleneurology partnership, as opposed to stop-gap coverage, made a difference for the in-person providers and staff
- See how Piedmont Columbus exceeded key performance goals, including median connection time and door-to-needle time, with reliable access to teleneurologists
"We've seen a pretty drastic decrease in door-to-needle and door-to-device time over the past two years because of the use of our teleneurology coverage."
Does This Sound Like Your Hospital?
- Neurologists aren’t reliably at the bedside when a stroke alert fires — and reaching them means navigating offices, answering services, and callbacks.
- Treatment decisions depend on secondhand information because the neurologist can’t see the patient — adding complexity to an already time-critical moment.
- Stroke volume is climbing while your capacity to respond quickly stays flat — and the margin for error keeps shrinking.
- Your quality metrics are good, but not exceptional — your team knows that faster access to expertise is the lever that could change that.
