Trends in telestroke care delivery: a 15-year experience of an academic hub and its network of spokes.
Telestroke provides access to vascular neurology expertise for hospitals lacking stroke coverage, and its use has risen rapidly in the past decade. In this study the investigators aimed to characterize consultations, spoke behavior, and the relationship between spoke telestroke utilization (number of telestroke consults per year) and spoke alteplase treatment metrics in an academic telestroke network.

A network approach to stroke systems of care.
This study provided a network analysis of stroke systems of care. Stroke patients are increasing transferred between hospitals to receive higher levels of care, but coordination and triage of these patients remains a challenge. The network analysis provides an understanding of the central hubs, the change of network structure over time, and the dissemination of innovations.
