TELEMEDICINE
ABSTRACT
Def: It can be defined as : "medical care and health supporting practices based on patient information derived from images transmitted from a remote site."
> It includes the conditions under which telemedicine can be accepted as a form of medicine .Its implementation varies what facilities used and nature of the type of data transmitted.
>In actual its been practiced between two medical facilities without any legal problems involved.
>It majorly involves in the effective and accurate transmission of medical related data like X-ray images as well as other related information regarding pathological data (rarely), sometimes it is not even necessary to transmit images only

>Sometimes it can be incorporated by the usage of telemedicine networks which is evolving technology, mainly useful for effective interactions and reliable functions, by the usage of their sophisticated interfaces for both sites.
Uses of Telemedicine:
>The major advantage is its importance in case of medical emergencies mainly in life and death situations, where the patient required immediate medical assistance with advance therapy to save their life.
>It will erases the barrages between distant regions where the medical support can be provided barely, its mostly beneficial to rural areas as the quality and accessibility vastly improved.
> It will be a boon to the patients who are in long term treatments at hospitals living distantly from their families have an opportunity to communicate with their families, as well as to the students who are long term inpatients can be able to get

In general telemedicine implementation uses a basic system of two interconnected video monitors connected via a network for both information sharing and for providing suggestions. So The communication network type must be in full-duplex mode of conversation then only the actual mechanism of telemedicine works.
>In some cases there is a usage of telemedicine networks, for the implementation of these systems connections among multiple terminals residing at various sites. So these networks are slowly evolving now-a-days but will be more successful in the future days for more effective implementation of telemedicine. >The telemedicine networks are reliable ones support multiple modes of communication audio, video, images ,other medical related data as well as there is a chance of getting the task done more easy than that of the traditional mechanisms.
>The interface provided by the telemedicine networks itself is in more effective way for proper working methodology including easy interaction to get high level
The limitations are to be addressed such as lack of infrastructure, high start-up cost and optimal funding need to be allocated. At this point of time it is apposite to to plan for the future through this recommendations using the telehelath, good governance, maintain good infrastructure, patient awareness and implementing the laws. Implementations of all this will transform the current health care into technological advanced health care. There by reaching being more feasible to clinicians and patients.
With the uberization of healthcare and telehealth we often feel overwhelmed by the push for telehealth. As independent advisors, Ingenium Telehealth Consultants will work with you to determine which services will be successful, appropriate and the best way to integrate technology into the care delivery processes. Several benefits have been identified as a result of telehealth services being introduced. Increase the accessibility of and to professional caregivers Increase the quality and continuity of care to patients Increase the focus on preventive medicine through early intervention Reduce the overall cost of healthcare Education and training Contrary to vendor solutions, one size does not fit all.
The most commonly reported telemedicine services were tele-psychiatry and tele-cardiology, followed by telestroke and teledermatology. Exhibit 2 provides an overview of respondents’ affiliations and respective
Respondents were asked to discuss factors that contributed to the successful use of telehealth services in their respective regions. The following section provides an overview of the most commonly reported facilitators. Physician Buy-In Most respondents discussed physician buy-in as a key facilitator for telehealth services. Respondents suggested several reasons why primary care providers are likely to support the use of telehealth and refer their patients.
These results are not completely logically due to the fact of the unavailability there is of this technology, not all collegiate and youth programs are going to have access to telemedicine, making it not logical. Aside from this, the information is still reliable and sufficient. The authors organized the information all in one section, but inside of this it is still relatively simple to
Several professional goals have supported my decision to join an MSW program. I have considered opening a personal practice where I can conduct client care of my own volition as well as the possibility of working with telehealth-based therapy groups to connect with a broad range of clients. I also have aspirations of working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I have several family members who are part of the LGBTQIA+ and feel passionate about advocating for the young members of this group to find inner strength and agency amidst turbulent periods. Another goal I have frequently contemplated, especially over the past few socially tumultuous years, is being involved in legislature creation.
Hello, Lori You made a great point with telehealth and telecare. Sanders et al. (2012) identified telehealth and telecare interventions for improving quality and cost-effectiveness of care for people with long term complex health and social care needs. Patients who use this innovative change in care delivery have an increase in autonomy. There is the convenience as you emphasized due to decrease in unnecessary travel.
Telehealth offers real-time communication where a patient consults with a physician or where a nurse practitioner consults with a specialist through a link. In such cases, the patient can access primary care without going to the clinic. Reaching patients at home saves not only travel times and related practitioners and patients expenses but also improves patient survival as well as recovery. Effectiveness of the TELEHEALTH (ethical-legal issues) The effectiveness of telehealth technology is affected by issues of ethics, costs of infrastructure and legal issues.
Depending on the type of office and the patients there in, will determine what electronic health system you will need. Some doctors have patients that need a high level of care and lots of tests and other documented information, like cardiology. Other offices might be able to use a simple program because they don 't have many patients or the patients they do have don 't require extensive documentation. You have to consider the amount of time you may, or may not have to train the staff and get all the information transferred. Once the needs of the facility are determined, it is then important to decide on a system that will coincide.
Another opportunity HIE have is that it can improve the communication between physicians and can lower the number of duplicate services and decrease the cost of services. Implementing health information exchange systems can overall help improve care for
The technological advancements have not only helped nurses to be better informed, but have also helped the clients to be better informed. Informed patients and families can help the nurses and HCPs by speaking up about symptoms they have noticed that the health care team may have been unable to witness or may have look past. Technology being available to everyone is mostly a good luxury, at the same time, many people can be misinformed and cause more trouble demanding treatments or care that are unsuitable for them because they read about it online. 3.
The use of satellites for remote monitoring of patients has also led to the development of new techniques for diagnosing and treating diseases. Additionally, the use of computers and the internet has led to the creation of electronic health records and the development of new medical imaging techniques. These advancements have greatly improved the quality of healthcare and have made it more accessible to people around the
Technology is used in the health care system to chart patient health information, communicate with the interprofessional team, and monitor plan of care. The nurse, upon licensure, recognizes the importance of computer literacy and the effect technology has on patient outcomes. The use of technology can hinder or help the patient based on its use. For this reason,
They are able to use secure messaging to ask point related questions and receive shorter response times than waiting on a phone calls. This method is efficient with the doctors as well, they are not being overloaded with incoming phone calls and patients avoid miscommunication or missed phone calls. Once they leave their doctor they are able to review doctors' notes in the case the patient did not remember what was discussed. Health information exchange has many benefits, however there are many challenges as well. HIEs have to select one or more vendor to deliver services in a successful manner.
The clinic does not have a radiologist on staff at the clinic to review and assess x-ray or mammogram performed at the clinic. Therefore, EHR files transmitted to HCMC, on a secured network and the data communication were compatible, because the devices and the computer networks were able to communicate with one another. The radiologist, result is entered in the clinical application clinical
