Figures & data

Figure 1. Diagram of the proposed “hub-and-spoke” model of paediatric concussion telemedicine care for the province of Manitoba. In the present study, the Pan Am Concussion Program (the hub) provided access to specialised paediatric concussion care through an established telemedicine network including distant sites in Thompson and Churchill, Manitoba (the spokes). CT = computerised tomography; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; EEG = electroencephalography; MD = medical doctor
