Referring hospitals often provide diagnostic and therapeutic equipment for adequate primary care of stroke patients, but usually do not have dedicated stroke experts on staff. Telemedicinal equipment can compensate for this lack of critical medical expertise. With the help of a neurologist in a consulting hospital, this may allow for accurate diagnosis and early treatment in nonspecialized clinical environments, thus improving the prognosis of stroke patients substantially…. It enables the integration of small clinics' hospital IT with specialized centers, making diagnostic evaluation and treatment recommendations by stroke experts available at the referring hospital.

Collaboration between a referring hospital and a tertiary care center in improving the transfer process for cardiac patients.
Ongoing discussion between the cardiology team at the accepting hospital and physicians at the referring hospital expanded the continuum of care to both hospitals. Priority of transfers could be upgraded at any time without unduly jeopardizing patient safety or increasing resource utilization at the receiving center.
