Stroke Care
Patients arriving at the Tyler Memorial Hospital emergency department showing symptoms of stroke have immediate access to the county’s top neuroscience specialists through the Jefferson Neuroscience Network. This collaboration connects Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, with all Commonwealth Health hospitals.
Through this stroke telemedicine program, local patients have around-the-clock access to the specialists at Jefferson Health using Jefferson Expert Teleconsulting, or JET, a high-tech, mobile robotic teleconsulting system that is covered by the top neuroscience physicians in Philadelphia.
Specialized software and robotic equipment at Commonwealth Health hospitals enable the Jefferson Health neuro-specialist to examine patients remotely while speaking directly with the clinical team at Commonwealth, the patient and their family members.
