Appropriateness, safety, and effectiveness of “drip and ship” teleconsultation model in Southeastern Tuscany: a feasibility study

ConclusionsThe high value for treated/total sent patients ’ ratio underlines that “drip-and-ship” teleconsultation model is appropriate and effective, with a few untreated patients. The model is safe, without adverse events during transfer. Taken together, our outcomes are in line with the previous reports. “Drip-and-ship” teleconsultation model is safe and effective in rural areas, allowing good selections and rapid treatments for stroke patients, based on the transfer from the primary to the comprehensive stroke center.
