Regional disparities in the implementation rates of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator and endovascular thrombectomy treatments have been reported in Japan. We simulated the cost-effectiveness of specialist dispatching system in Hokkaido, Japan using Geographic Information System. In the system a qualified specialist is dispatched to another hospital for endovascular thrombectomy. Since the system improved patient accessibility, and the cost- effectiveness was excellent, the system could help enhance the equality and cost-effectiveness of ischemic stroke treatments in Hokkaido.
