Case Study: St. Mary’s Hospital cuts stroke treatment time with Sevaro teleneurology

St. Mary’s Hospital - Customer Case Study

St. Mary’s Hospital faced the challenge of long treatment times for stroke patients, with a critical door-to-needle time of 118 minutes. This delay impacted the effectiveness of time-sensitive treatments and patient outcomes. The hospital partnered with Sevaro, a provider of AI-powered virtual neurology and telestroke solutions, to improve the efficiency and quality of its stroke care.

Sevaro’s solution involved a comprehensive review and optimization of St. Mary's stroke care processes, implementing direct connections between ED teams and neurologists, and utilizing artificial intelligence for brain imaging. This partnership resulted in a dramatic reduction of the average door-to-needle time from 118 minutes to just 40 minutes, an 83% increase in the use of clot-busting medication (tPA), and zero missed eligible patients. These improvements led to St. Mary’s being recognized as a national leader in stroke care by the American Heart Association.
