title: When every second counts. Cutting-edge hospitals are leveraging telestroke programs so neurologists can intervene when a stroke hits.
abstract: Telestroke programs offer an innovative approach to optimizing the care of patients presenting with stroke symptoms. ClOs are working with clinician leaders to support the remote consults that are at the heart of telestroke programs. Telestroke programs can be a "win-win" for all stakeholders involved, especially the referring hospitals and teaching facilities.
