Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if patients admitted to a primary stroke centre, such as the general internal medicine service of the Ottawa Hospitals General Campus, for acute ischemic stroke would benefit from a scheduled virtual assessment with a stroke neurologist to review investigations, results, and evaluations to identify stroke etiology, propose appropriate therapy, and guide decision-making and multidisciplinary assessment, similar to services provided to patients admitted to comprehensive stroke centres, such as the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital.
