Abstract
Recent studies identify the structure, market, and community characteristics of hospitals that implemented telestroke and compare these structural, market, and community characteristics with hospitals that are not providing telestroke. Using these new findings, it is time to hospitals at stroke Belt region to increase implementation of telestroke technologies and provide timely care to the patients.
