Telestroke for Comprehensive Transient Ischemic Attack Care in Acute Stroke Ready Hospitals

Telestroke is an audiovisual communication network that allows for coordination of stroke care from a distant 'hub' site (the telestroke provider location) to an originating 'spoke' site (patient location) in a HIPAA compliant fashion. In TELECAST-TIA, inpatient telestroke rounding will be used to oversee the urgent diagnostic TIA evaluation, secondary stroke prevention, and stroke education in patients admitted with TIA.
