Randomized trial compares quality stroke metrics before and after telestroke implementation, indicating improved care in rural settings.

This research aims to assess the impact of telestroke implementation on stroke care quality metrics in rural Indiana hospitals.
Comparative analysis of quality stroke metrics pre- and post-implementation of telestroke in three rural hospitals.
Metrics evaluated included frequency of stroke activations, thrombolytic administrations, thrombectomy transfers, and door-in-door-out times.
Increased frequency of stroke activations post-telestroke implementation.
Higher rates of thrombolytic administrations observed.
Improved door-in-door-out times recorded after implementing telestroke services.

Zapata et al. (2026) studied this question.
