Whitepaper: Top Telestroke Myths: An Insider Perspective on Addressing and Navigating Challenges

The main problem with telestroke that they don't address at all is that it is preventing finding a replacement for the abysmal full success rate of 12% for tPA.

• Telestroke's financial return on investment (ROI) cannot be justified
• Treating stroke patients with tPA is simply too risky
• We lack sufficient physician resources for telestroke coverage
