Press Release Body = While discussing your problem, a doctor on call you can
electronically transfer medical data (high resolution images, sounds, live video,
and patient records) from one location to another. This medical data will be used
for better diagnosis of the patient with knowledge of medical records. The varied
applications in the field of telemedicine have reduced the burden of inferior health
care by utilization of technology. Call system utilizes variety of
telecommunications technology: telephone, ISDN, Internet, and satellite
broadcasting. Telemedicine is utilized by health providers in a number of medical
specialties like dermatology, oncology, radiology, surgery, cardiology, psychiatry
and home health care.
Hospital call centres and doctors take calls from patients and assess the severity
of the patient's symptoms and then guide the patient to the appropriate level of
care.
Demographic data such as age, gender, height, weight etc is also assessed. Asking
questions starting with the most acute ones and then working down in severity to the
least acute assesses symptoms. This helps determine the need for emergency
intervention. Depending on the answers, the patient is then guided with the needed
information. The call centres also help determine the course of action, based on the
various possible causes for the symptoms. Thorough documentation is part of the
process and is carried out just as diligently as charting on bedside procedures.
The computerized systems make an electronic chart, which will develop an ongoing
record for each patient in the system. When the same patient calls, his or her chart
is electronically retrieved and the medical history, diagnoses, and previous records
are displayed. This assists to expedite continuity of care and ease of follow-up.
The call center provides both technical and customer support for medical
emergencies. There is use of communications technology to provide round-the-clock,
telephone medical advice, information, products, and services.
There is also development for use of interface with patients through the
world-wide-web which has expanded its reach into the global marketplace. Specialized
application software, data storage devices, database management software, and
medical devices capable of electronic data collection, storage and transmission are
all key components responsible for the success of resolving discussions of medical
problems online.
