Improving access to care
Connecting every member of the care team
The eConsultant program is an episodic care telehealth solution that leverages your existing telehealth infrastructure and helps transform an operational eICU program into an enterprise telehealth center. By expanding eICU’s care model to other care settings in the health system, eConsultant provides that bedside caregivers can be supported by clinical specialists whenever necessary, regardless of geography.
eConsultant telestroke program features and services
eConsultant applies eICU program processes, technology and best practice guidelines to economically and efficiently improve clinical outcomes and lack of access to specialists across a care system.
Telestroke module
For stroke victims, time is of the essence. eConsultant’s Telestroke program brings together the telehealth center, stroke care teams, neurologists and emergency department clinicians to evaluate patients, and rapidly and expertly manage care during the time-sensitive acute stroke phase.
Evidence-based support
The eConsultant Telestroke module provides a stroke patient profile screen complete with specific stroke care guidelines, a view of all relevant data, and a timeline to track the time-sensitive metrics of stroke care.
Workflow without limits
Telestroke programs provide specialists the data necessary to assist ED clinicians in stroke-related decision making for patients at rural or underequipped facilities. These programs can help improve access to acute stroke care, enhance stroke diagnosis, increase tPA administration rates, and improve clinical outcomes.

eConsultant leverages Philips industry-leading eICU model, driving evidence-based, coordinated care across patient populations.

Real-world results
In a 10-year study, researchers found that when a telestroke program was implemented, the door to needle time was cut in half (from 80 to 40 minutes).³ A telestroke network also results in cost savings. During a five-year period, researchers found that in a health system of 1 hub hospital and 7 spokes, a telestroke network was associated with more than $350,000 in cost savings each year.⁴ Researchers also estimated that a telestroke network had an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of greater than $2,400 per quality-adjusted life-year over a patient’s lifetime compared with no telestroke.⁵

Telestroke networks should be deployed wherever a lack of readily available stroke expertise prevents patients in a given community from accessing a primary stroke center (or center of equivalent capability) within a reasonable distance or travel time to permit access to specially trained stroke care providers."⁶ - American Heart Association
