We sought to determine the effect of telemedicine (TM) on access to acute stroke care for racial and ethnic minorities in the state of Texas. Data were collected from the US Census Bureau, The Joint Commission and the American Hospital Association. Access for racial and ethnic minorities was determined by summing the population that could reach a primary stroke centre (PSC) or telemedicine spoke within specified time intervals using validated models. TM extended access to stroke expertise by 1.5 million residents. The odds of providing 60-minute access via TM were similar in Blacks and Whites (prevalence odds ratios (POR) 1.000, 95% CI 1.000\u20131.000), even after adjustment for urbanization (POR 1.000, 95% CI 1.000\u20131.001). The odds of providing access via TM were also similar for Hispanics and non-Hispanics (POR 1.000, 95% CI 1.000\u20131.000), even after adjustment for urbanization (POR 1.000, 95% CI 1.000\u20131.000). We found that telemedicine increased access to acute stroke care for 1.5 million Texans. While racial and ethnic disparities exist in other components of stroke care, we did not find evidence of disparities in access to the acute stroke expertise afforded by telemedicine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633x15589534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,27]],"date-time":"2015-06-27T19:59:53Z","timestamp":1435435193000},"page":"114-120","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["The effects of telemedicine on racial and ethnic disparities in access to acute stroke care"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Michael J","family":"Lyerly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL"},{"name":"Stroke Program, Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Birmingham, AL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tzu-Ching","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas \u2013 Houston Memorial Hermann Medical Center, Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael T","family":"Mullen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen C","family":"Albright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL"},{"name":"Health Services and Outcomes Research Center for Outcome and Effectiveness Research and Education (COERE), University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL"},{"name":"Center for Excellence in Comparative Effectiveness Research for Eliminating Disparities (CERED) Minority Health & Health Disparities Research Center (MHRC), University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL"},{"name":"Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Birmingham, AL"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Wolff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amelia K","family":"Boehme","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gertrude Sergievsky Center, Department of Neurology, Columbia University, New York, NY"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charles C","family":"Branas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James C","family":"Grotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas \u2013 Houston Memorial Hermann Medical Center, Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sean I","family":"Savitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Texas \u2013 Houston Memorial Hermann Medical Center, Houston, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brendan G","family":"Carr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.111.621904"},{"key":"bibr2-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1581","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199512143332401","volume":"333","author":"Tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke","year":"1995","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"bibr3-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0804656"},{"key":"bibr4-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.0000165902.18021.5b"},{"key":"bibr5-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.107.490375"},{"key":"bibr6-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2006.08.004"},{"key":"bibr7-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-227X-11-5"},{"key":"bibr8-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.63.5.661"},{"key":"bibr9-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e31821e54f3"},{"key":"bibr10-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.111.640060"},{"key":"bibr11-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/JAHA.112.000071"},{"key":"bibr12-1357633X15589534","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurol.2010.250"},{"key":"bibr13-1357633X15589534","unstructured":"Carr BG and Branas CC.
