What You Should Know:
– Texas County Memorial Hospital, a hospital in rural Missouri has selected RapidAI to deploy its core stroke imaging and workflow products.
– As a Level III stroke center, TCMH’s closest Level I facility is over 90 miles away, posing a significant barrier to timely treatment for stroke patients in the community.
– With Rapid’s technology, TCMH will now be able to analyze high-res CT scans in real-time, detect suspected ICH and LVO more effectively and make faster, more informed treatment or transfer decisions.
Rural Citizens Access to Telehealth (RCAT) Project
To support the implementation of RapidAI, TCMH received a grant from the Rural Citizens Access to Telehealth (RCAT) project. RCAT is a partnership between the Missouri Telehealth Network and the Department of Social Services, MO HealthNet Division, with the goals of reducing barriers to care, such as time and distance, and providing patients with access to technologically advanced, consistent and timely care in the state of Missouri.
“We are incredibly excited to have RapidAI in our hospital and expect it will enhance care delivery significantly and improve outcomes for our stroke patients – expediting our door-to-decision time by saving valuable minutes in assessing and triaging stroke patients,” said Jason Mayberry, the Stroke Coordinator at Texas County Memorial Hospital. “RapidAI will revolutionize how we provide stroke care at TCMH and ensure members of our community have access to the best possible care, regardless of where they live.”
With RapidAI, stroke and trauma teams at TCMH and other rural or spoke hospitals can streamline decision-making and expedite patient care. Additionally, hospitals of all sizes with resources and imaging capabilities are provided with more information, context, and support to make challenging clinical decisions earlier, reducing time to treatment, easing the burden of care, and supporting greater equity of care for all patients, no matter where they live.
