Case Study: Regional Medical Center achieves 22% faster stroke treatment and 45-second neurologist access with Sevaro

A Regional Medical Center Partnership in Florida

The Regional Medical Center, a regional medical center in Florida, sought to improve its stroke care outcomes by reducing door-to-needle (DTN) times and increasing the utilization of the critical clot-busting drug tPA. To achieve its goal of receiving the highest level of DNV Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification, the hospital partnered with Sevaro for its telestroke and virtual neurology services to enhance its existing processes.

Sevaro’s solution involved a data-driven collaboration to refine the hospital's acute stroke protocol. This partnership integrated Sevaro’s team of vascular neurologists with the hospital's staff, ensuring a neurologist was connected within 45 seconds of a stroke code. The results were significant: a 22% reduction in average DTN time to 37 minutes, a record-setting 21-minute DTN, and a 12% increase in tPA utilization to 38%, enabling the hospital to gain national recognition for its stroke care improvements.
