Telestroke & Emergency Care

Emergency Neurology

The ARH emergency teleneurology service covers all neurological emergencies occurring in any location in the hospital, including acute stroke. While stroke/telestroke may be the most familiar reason for emergency consult, our neurologists are deeply experienced in handling all varieties of neurologic issues. All ARH hospitals are capable of administering IV thrombolytics for stroke and our administration times are among the fastest in the state and consistently faster than the national average.

Telestroke / TeleNeurology

Many hospitals don’t have neurologists on call. Now anyone exhibiting neurologic symptoms in one of the 13 ARH hospitals can receive quality neurology care. With ARH Telestroke, neurologists at one location examine and talk to patients in another location and in real time using hi-tech equipment. The neurologist collaborates with on-site doctors to provide diagnosis, treatment, and specialty care. Working together for you ARH TeleStroke is comprised of team that includes neurologists, emergency medicine and hospital doctors, radiology technicians, informational technology staff, nurses, nurse practitioners and other staff.

Benefits

  • 24/7/365 availability for admitted and observation patients
