Time is brain. Eagle TeleStroke averages from alert to needle — 5.7-minute physician response, 22.13-minute decision to treat, and 43.15-minute door-to-needle — measured against the American Heart Association’s 60-minute national window. Up to 24% of stroke alerts are treated with thrombolytics.
TeleCardiology companies, like Eagle, are responding to a growing need for around the clock cardiology coverage. Hospitals are seeing an increasing number of patients with the need for cardiac care — both from an increase in the number of cardiac emergencies and an aging population with comorbidities.
Telemedicine programs may seem revolutionary. The concept of a physician “beaming” into a hospital room may seem like Star Trek Healthcare. You may wonder at the efficacy, when the physician is a face on a TV monitor.
Working with a nationwide telemedicine company is a great solution to physician shortages impact hospitals and patients across the country, but rural hospitals feel even greater pressure. Nationwide telemedicine is tackling this shortage.
When time matters, Eagle Telemedicine is there. Eagle’s TeleStroke solution provides quick access to potentially life-saving care. Reduce your door-to-needle time, improve patient metrics and protect the brains of patients suffering from stroke symptoms with a TeleStroke program.
