Whitepaper: Telestroke Tips: How to Reduce Time to Treatment - NSA

Very simple, you don't do telestroke at all because you have diagnosed and started treatment while in the ambulance. The BHAG should be in the ambulance, getting rid of the scan and the neurologist. This is definitely doable.  Test out these 17 diagnosis possibilities to find out which one is the best?  Or maybe the Qualcomm Xprize for the tricorder?    But don't worry, NONE of these will be tested, you'll be screwed just as you normally are. If that isn't your goal you need to get out of the way and let some actual leaders take over.
Failure on a grand scale once again.
