In the event of a stroke, every minute counts. REACH connects neurologists with those in need for better outcomes.

Additionally, REACH individualizes the care for each patient by facilitating appropriate inter-hospital transfer when necessary. Seriously ill patients are seen quicker and recommendations for transfer to the hub for a higher level of care can be made earlier. Minor to moderately ill patients may be able to stay at their local facility. Less travel can decrease stress on the patient and also enables them to remain closer to loved ones.

We understand that mounting economic challenges mean that hospitals must extract maximum return on any proposed expenditure. To address that concern, the REACH team provides ROI calculators for both hub and spoke hospitals to give you better predictors on the financial benefits of REACH network participation. Once in place, the REACH reporting features help validate these initial projections and make it possible for you to fine tune the program for even better returns.

The impact of REACH technology is wholly dependent on a capable telestroke network. That is why REACH Call’s network building expertise is a standard part of every implementation.

Since we began in 2006, we’ve implemented dozens of networks. As we’ve gained new insights and experience, we have fine tuned our network building methodology. As your partner, we can provide whatever you need, including:

—if you are a neurologist/neurosurgeon

—if you are an administrator at a large hospital

—if you run a rural/underserved hospital

—if you work in the ED at a rural hospital

—if you are a patient
