Implication

Survey identifies delays in thrombolytic therapy delivery and interhospital transfers in stroke care, indicating need for improvement.

Key Points

To evaluate perceived delays in thrombolytic therapy and interhospital transfers among hospitals using telestroke for acute ischemic stroke management.
Surveyed 53 hospitals in Michigan's Paul Coverdell Acute Stroke Registry regarding delays in thrombolysis and transfers.
Telestroke-specific questions were developed for the 2025 MASR Hospital Inventory Survey administered to hospital stroke program coordinators.
Survey participants identified primary causes of delays in therapy and transfers.
Identification of top delay sources for thrombolytic therapy: patient eligibility (50%), obtaining consent (38.9%), diagnosing stroke (22.2%).
Main delays for interhospital transfers included securing transport (44.4%), determining transfer eligibility (27.8%), identifying accepting facilities (22.2%).
