REACH Health has developed this Telestroke ROI Case Study to provide a fact-based and quantifiable framework for evaluating the ROI potential of a telestroke program. The case study is based on a telestroke program that continues to thrive and expand, both in terms of geography and services offered today.

The telestroke network studied is comprised of a Hub hospital (a Comprehensive Stroke Center) and ten Spoke hospital partners. Three of the Spoke hospitals have achieved a Primary Stroke Center (PSC) certification. Other Spoke hospital partners are working to achieve the new Acute Stroke Ready Hospital (ASRH) Certification from the Joint Commission.

Summary of ROI Results

The five-year analysis of the telestroke network revealed the following:
– ROI of $1.8M (52.0%) for the entire telestroke network
– ROI of $709K (35.7%) for the Hub hospital
– ROI of $1.1M (75.7%) combined total for the Spoke partner hospitals
