Overview
The TeleStroke Alliance Program (TAP) was
created to assist other hospitals throughout the US and worldwide to build their
own successful stroke telemedicine programs. The TeleStroke Alliance Program
offers hospitals unlimited access to a broad range of clinical, management, and
information technology expertise; access to an array of intellectual property
and collateral materials MGH and BWH have developed to support a large,
successful stroke telemedicine program; access to a robust live and "on-demand"
stroke education program; and the opportunity to participate in an exclusive

clinical best practice, training, and education to create a sustainable
telemedicine program that will provide the highest quality patient care.

Stroke Consultation Software
We have developed a secure,web-based stroke consultation software program that
is used by other TAP hospitals and telestroke networks. The encrypted,
password-protected software application serves as a robust medical record system
which accurately documents critical information on each clinical telemedicine
interaction, including patient demographics, medical history, exam findings, lab
values, and care recommendations. The application contains embedded decision
support tools (e.g. reminders, warnings, algorithms, and calculators) which
assist the telemedicine consultant in making the correct diagnosis and treatment
decisions.
