The TeleStroke platform allows McLaren Health Care neurologists to evaluate patients and communicate with providers at rural hospitals, according to a Jan. 6 news release from the health system.
Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital is the fourth non-health system site where McLaren Health Care now provides stroke care. The network previously expanded to include War Memorial Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Mackinac Straits Health System in St. Ignace, Mich., and Hellen Newberry Joy Hospital in Newberry, Mich., the release said.
If intervention is needed outside of the rural hospital’s capabilities, patients can be transferred to McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey or McLaren Flint (Mich.) Hospital.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
