C3O Telemedicine http://c3otelemedicine.com has launched their latest telehealth program in partnership with Meridian Neuroscience now part of Hackensack Meridian Health www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org to provide 24/7 stroke care.
According to Alan Colicchio, MD Medical Director for Meridian Neuroscience, since strokes occur at all times of day, telestroke ensures that a patient is assessed immediately. Since we started using telestroke in the emergency department, we have been able to diagnose and treat patients faster, which helps to reduce the amount of recovery time a patient faces.
C3Os Acute Neurology Telemedicine program designed to improve access to specialists for stroke patients and other neuro-critically ill patients was successfully implemented at all Hackensack Meridian Health hospitals in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Riverview Medical Center www.riverviewmedicalcenter.com, Ocean Medical Center www.oceanmedicalcenter.com, Bayshore Community Hospital www.bayshorehospital.org , Southern Ocean Medical Center www.southernoceanmedicalcenter.ocm, and the Jersey Shore University Medical Center www.jerseyshoreu7niversitymedicalcenter.com are part of the Hackensack Meridian Health Hospital system.
Dr. Herb Rogove, President and CEO, C3O Telemedicine states, “C3O is honored to be selected as the first provider of telehealth for Hackensack Meridian Health Hospitals. Meridian Neuroscience is an outstanding program that offers the most advanced treatment options when interventional procedures and surgeries may be needed.”
