Telestroke
Telestroke - As part of the McLaren Stroke Network, interventional neurologists utilize a telemedicine robot to provide consultative services within minutes of notification by onsite emergency physicians. The TeleStroke System allows the interventional neurologist to beam into the patient's bedside from a remote location and assess the patient, review CT scan images and discuss best options for the patient with onsite physicians and the patient's family. This telemedicine technology ensures that patients have access to rapid decision-making for treatment during the critical period following the onset of stroke symptoms. This technology assures that clinical therapies such as clot removal and clot busting drugs can be applied quickly and effectively, resulting in better outcomes for the patient in regaining blood flow to affected areas in the brain, thus minimizing long term disability. With McLaren's TeleStroke network, stroke patients benefit from speedier diagnoses, faster care, and a better chance of recovery. We're proud to offer this high level of neurologic intervention for stroke patients.
Online self-scheduling / patient check-in
Online self-scheduling and check-in will also be offered to reduce patient's wait times in the emergency center. This scheduling system lets patients with non-life threatening or debilitating conditions select an arrival time and stay at home until their treatment time arrives.
