24/7 coverage for hospitals

Blue Sky Telehealth is committed to making specialty neurology services more accessible to patients nationwide. We partner with each of our clients to create a customized telehealth system that integrates with the facility’s existing processes and technology. Our physicians do not take over patient care but serve as knowledgeable consultants for the attending physician.

Through our service, medical facilities can contact our highly experienced medical specialists 24/7 to assist with patient care, diagnosis, and treatment. This eliminates the cost for hospitals of keeping a neurologist on-call full time and ensures that a qualified medical professional will be available whenever and wherever needed.

Every Second Counts: Accurate and Timely Stroke Diagnoses

Our Telestroke/Emergent Neuro program enables our physicians to see and speak with patients to make accurate and timely stroke diagnoses. As medical providers, we know that every second counts when a patient is suffering from a stroke.

Receiving treatment from an experienced stroke specialist within the first hour of the event can make a significant difference in the ultimate outcome for the patient. With Blue Sky Telehealth, even remote and rural hospitals can have 24/7 access to skilled stroke professionals.
