In-ambulance consults cut down on critical treatment time for stroke patients
(Medical University of South Carolina) By changing EMS workflows and incorporating telemedicine techniques, physicians at MUSC Health have significantly shortened the time between a patient's stroke symptom onset and their treatment, as recently reported in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.
