Center of Cardiac Surgery Robotic Computerized Telemanipulation as Part of a Comprehensive Approach to Advanced Heart Care

Abstract

The Assessment of Robotic CABG Experience and Training (TARGET) Program is a collaborative project between the Thomas Jefferson University and Hospital. The award received allowed TJU/TJUH to support the purchase of the daVinci robot system with matching funds allotted by the hospital to purchase the proctoring console for future education and training of students, residents and surgical faculty. This purchase acquisition provided the foundation for recruiting a junior faculty robotic surgeon and to begin the first hospital-based CT surgery program. The TARGET Project deliverables will continue to be used and studied by the investigator teams at TJU/TJUH. Additional research is planned with skill training using the VR Simulator. The OR team training materials (Clinical Scenario DVDs) and the Competency Performance DVD will be incorporated into the existing programs for hospital staff training.
