ResultsTS consultations were provided to 21 hospitals, 8 of them are also contracted to receive RUTN consults. A total of 1646 consults were done through TS (incidence rate 102.9) and 2011 through RUTN (incidence rate 251.4). The incidence rate difference between the two services was 148.5 (95% CI 138.1-158.9, pb0.0001). The proportion of video consults in telestroke was 27% and in RUTN 10% (pb0.0001). In a 5-point Likert scale, neurologist's satisfaction mean score was 4.67 in TS vs 4.69 in RUTN (p=0.39). ConclusionOut study suggests that there is a large demand for inpatient general teleneurology consultations through an academic-based teleneurology program. Use of video consults are more frequent in telestroke and the neurologist satisfaction with the TS and RUTN was similar. The combination of teleneurology and telestroke meet an important and ever-growing need of access to neurology specialty care.
