PERT Centers of Excellence, Dr. Rosenfield

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker explains that pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major, often underdiagnosed and deadly disease with limited evidence guiding treatment. PERT was created to improve urgent, multidisciplinary decision-making for complex PE cases, inspired by real patient experiences and the need for coordinated care. Since launching in 2015, the PERT Consortium has grown into a national, mission-driven network that promotes education, research, standardized data collection, and better treatment pathways. It has also developed a centers-of-excellence program to raise care standards and improve outcomes for PE patients.
