13 Proprietary & Confidential
Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to
another via electronic communications to improve a patient’s clinical health status. Telemedicine includes a growing variety of applications and
services using two-way video, email, smart phones, wireless tools and other forms of telecommunications technology

FINDINGS:
• Telemedicine enabled university-based critical care physicians to provide regular consultation in an hospital with no intensivist of its own
• Reliability and costs of the telecommunication link presented few limitations
• Organizational difficulties and problems in the design and implementation of the demonstration limited the impact of telemedicine consultation on patient care

Effectiveness RESULTS - TeleNeurology:
• In 2014 CRMC’s DTN rates were trending at 120 minutes and had been
reduced to as low as 38 minutes by April of 2016.
• As of Q3 of 2016, process improvements continued to have positive effects.
On a volume basis, utilization of tPA for acute ischemic stroke continued to rise. Data from August 2016 shows a secondary effect of
increased attention to acute stroke care. Endovascular therapy is now widely accepted as a part of the health system’s strategy to manage these patients.
• SOC allows CRMC to order a much higher volume of consults for patients displaying neurological symptoms in the Emergency Department by
educating and partnering with CRMC’s clinical staff to improve patient safety, patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
• Despite these significant improvements in the past 6-12 months, the CRMC and SOC teams continue to streamline processes and set new goals to
improve patient care even further - Continuous Improvement
