Across more than 300 hospitals nationwide, and adding more every day, Access TeleCare’s teleNeurology program is reshaping how neurological care is delivered and bringing timely expertise to the bedside in minutes, no matter the zip code.
Founded in 2004 as one of the first telemedicine neurology programs in the country, Access TeleCare offers around-the-clock stroke, EEG, teleNeurohospitalist, teleNeurosurgery consultation, and outpatient neurology services. But what makes this model truly exceptional isn’t just the scope and scale. It’s the clinical precision, integrated care, and human connection behind every consult.
That readiness translates into real outcomes: improved thrombolytic administration rates following a stroke, reduced neurologic patient transfers, faster ED throughput, and better continuity of care across inpatient and outpatient settings. From emergent teleStroke consults to continuous EEG monitoring, every program is staffed with board-certified specialists who function as an extension of the local care team — not just as distant consultants.
At the core of Access TeleCare’s success is its multidisciplinary infrastructure. Each teleNeurologist is supported by a dedicated APP trained through the American Academy of Neurology’s curriculum and Access TeleCare’s own APP Academy. Behind the scenes, service excellence managers — many of whom are former stroke coordinators — partner with local staff to align workflows, protocols, and stroke program goals.
As the national neurologist shortage continues, virtual care offers hospitals a way to extend their clinical capacity without compromising quality. With an aging population, demand is growing, but resources are not.
With faster stroke evaluations, more in-place treatment decisions, and strengthened hospital neurology programs, Access TeleCare isn’t just filling gaps — it’s setting the standard.
