Telemedicine

Introduction To evaluate and study the impact of telemedicine in health, a systematic literature review was conducted. An electronic research through the University of Maryland library was done the articles selected dated from 2000 to 2014. A total of 12 articles was reviewed that dealt with clinical outcomes, efficacy, patient and provider satisfaction. Telemedicine as an emerging field can greatly improve the outcomes of healthcare thus resulting in decrease the delivery cost of healthcare. While

expect with Teledermatology implementation. Poor Image Quality: In order for the dermatologist to provide an accurate diagnosis and management for the patient, good quality images are required, specifically a minimum of 75 pixels per inch (American Telemedicine Association, 2007). NHS does not have the ability to ensure all patients will take clear, high-resolution photographs. Patients who send low quality images may need to schedule an in person visit to prevent a misdiagnosis from the provider. Dermatologists

the health care delivery system. Health care technology is advancing at an increasingly rapid rate in the United States, and globally. Patients and providers are witnessing these changes through the use of telehealth, and telemedicine applications. Telehealth, and telemedicine are often used interchangeably, however there is a difference between the two applications. Telehealth is the use of technology to deliver health care, health information, or health education at a distance (U.S. Department

inventions that will be of benefit to us. One invention is one that will change the medical industry known as telemedicine, the Greek “tele-” meaning “to or at a distance.” This word can be directly translated to “medicine at a distance.” Telemedicine provides many benefits as well as drawbacks to the medicinal world, but it can hopefully pave a path for engineering and medicine. Telemedicine is the use of information technologies to provide medical information to improve a patient’s health. It can

Telemedicine is becoming increasingly popular. The technology is moving so fast that it is arising ethical and legal issues. American Telemedicine Association (ATA) is medical information communications between the client and physician through two-way video, email, smart phones, and other forms of computer based technology. (1) Patent consultation using video to video, ending images patent portals, observing vital signs, and other applications also play a part of telehealth. Telemedicine is similar

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technologies in order to provide clinical health care at a distance. It helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. Summary Telemedicine is a vast subject, but as yet there are limited data on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of most telemedicine applications. As a result, objective information about the benefits

involved in delivery of the consultation Taking a closer look and understanding these factors is crucial for the effectiveness of telemedicine. Gaps and challenges facing current telemedicine adoption and delivery Adoption of technology in any field is a slow and gradual process which meets a lot of hurdles in its way. To achieve the great time and cost benefits that telemedicine has to offer, one must overcome the obstacles in the course of integration and adoption of this technology. This section of

to experience new opportunities in health care services. Telemedicine transmits vital health care information by way of telecommunication and information technology to the health care recipients in distant areas from medical clinics and hospitals. Telemedicine is promoted and is gaining support for its ability to improve accessibility to health care with lower cost and easier accessibility to gain quality medical services. Both telemedicine and telehealth are two areas that are developing and viewed

What is telemedicine ? telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another, via electronic communications, to improve a patient's clinical health status . Some benefits of telemedicine are 1) improved access ,2) cost efficiency , 3)improved quality, and 4)patient demand . patients can access telemedicine through their doctors , a hospital, or other health care provider . Some may even tell you the health care services that are already available. Telemedicine is it safe

Telemedicine is the remote delivery of healthcare services and an exchange of medical information from one site to the another via electronic communication for the purpose of optimizing clinical outcomes of patients”(The American Telemedicine Association [ATA], 2012). Examples of telemedicine are remote monitoring devices, h=smart phones, wireless tools, healthSpot, which provide diagnostic services to patients anytime, anywhere and others (ATA, 2012). Telemedicine has numerous benefits on the health
