Maricopa Integrated Health System, based in Phoenix, can continue its telemedicine partnership with Mayo Clinic after it received a donation from philanthropists in Missouri, according to a Phoenix Business Journal news report.
The telemedicine partnership aims to provide care for stroke patients at Maricopa Medical Center, which does not have its own full-time stroke neurologist. The partnership allows Mayo neurologists to connect with MIHS physicians and patients through a robot in real-time. The connection allows stroke patients to receive the correct diagnosis more swiftly, according to the news report.
The partnership began last year, and since that time Mayo has evaluated 13 MIHS patients.
