Working with Burn Center specialists 24/7

TeleBurn is a service provided by Lehigh Valley Health Network that allows your emergency room physician to work with the Lehigh Valley Regional Burn Center specialists 24/7. TeleBurn allows you to receive the quality care, locally. It also helps caregivers at the Lehigh Valley Hospital’s Regional Burn Center prepare for your arrival, should you need to be transferred.

How we prepare for your burn treatment.

Using a digital camera, personal computer (PC) with broadband Internet connection and Web-based software, your emergency department staff can send images of your burn injuries to the Lehigh Valley Hospital burn physicians for review and assessment. The burn specialists will view the images, while discussing the case with your emergency room physician over the phone, expediting the delivery of specialty care to you, using predefined protocols.
