A Randomized Trial of Telemedicine Models of Care on a Mobile Stroke Unit
Compared to an onboard model, an MSU telemedicine model of care was superior based on a composite hierarchical outcome of safety, scene-to-treatment-decision time, and percentage of the neurologist's time spent in direct care.
