TeleStroke

When every minute matters, Premier’s TeleStroke services bring the highest level of stroke care to patients in hospitals across the region. Our board-certified stroke neurologists and neurointensivists speed care to patients who have signs of stroke using a computer and monitor that bring the doctor to the patient’s bedside. The stroke specialists’ prompt evaluation and care recommendations help to improve a patient’s chances for recovery — even if the patient is in a community hospital miles away.

NEUROne

NEUROne provides patients who have non-emergency neurological conditions remote access to a Premier Health neurologist. At their local hospital, patients are linked by video with a neurologist who works with a neurology-trained provider at the bedside to care for them in the hospital. The program is suitable for patients with general neurological conditions, including headache, seizure, stroke, and neuro-muscular disorders. This allows patients to stay in their local hospital and still receive the neurology care they need. 

TeleIntensivist

For hospitals with limited critical care resources, Premier Health’s TeleIntensivist program accelerates access to specialty care for critically ill patients. An intensivist is a board-certified physician who provides special care for critically ill patients and has advanced training and experience in treating their complex health needs. Video consultation brings Premier Health’s intensivists to patients at their local hospital, allowing local providers to collaborate with the intensivist on care.

TeleSNF

For patients in skilled nursing facilities (SNF), Premier Health’s TeleSNF increases access to board-certified physicians and accelerates delivery of care, with the goal of avoiding unnecessary transfers to an emergency department. Through video consultation, physicians assess a patient’s needs and make care recommendations. Using TeleSNF, skilled nursing facilities gain virtual face-to-face access to board-certified physicians during nights, weekends, or other times when additional providers are needed. 

TeleSocialWork

For patients at Premier Health’s smaller EDs who need a consultation with a social worker — day or night — ED physicians can refer them to Premier TeleSocialWork. Social workers at Miami Valley Hospital can talk directly with patients at neighboring Premier Health hospitals via a computer and monitor wheeled right to the patient’s bedside. Social workers can provide ED patients with information and referral to many community or behavioral health agencies.

A Regional Leader in Telehealth

Premier Health works collaboratively with telehealth programs across the country to share best practices and gather ideas. Premier’s telehealth interdisciplinary team actively participates with the American Telemedicine Association, staying abreast of advances and connecting with other programs. Premier also participates in the Ohio Hospital Association Telehealth Workgroup.
