The cost-effectiveness of telestroke in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA

Conclusions
Our results support previous models showing good value, overall. However, costs and ICERs varied by stroke severity, with telestroke being most cost-effective for severe strokes. Telestroke was least cost effective for the spokes if spokes paid for more than half of implementation costs.
