Telemedicine and Teleconsultation

You can also watch the supplemental video, “The Role of Telemedicine in Diagnosis, Training and Consultation” to support this group project.

Consider the following scenario. There is a multinational research project currently underway in Antarctica. Scientists from 10 countries are represented including 277 men and women within an age range of 22 to 68 years. Most speak English well, but a significant portion considers Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic their native tongues. There is one family physician, Dr. Smith, assigned to the project. She is a U.S. citizen trained within the New York City medical system. The scientists have agreed to work for one year on a geological project, and they are aware that for a portion of the year, hostile environmental forces will create an environment that severely hinders a medical evacuation.

During this season, several of the scientists become afflicted with various medical conditions.

Scientist Chen is a 35-year-old Chinese male who has been having palpitations on and off that at times result in headaches.

Scientist Sanchez is a 48-year-old Colombian female that has been complaining of pain in her abdomen associated with cramps. She is postmenopausal and has a history of ovarian cancer in her family.

Scientist Jones is a 27-year-old American male that has been steadily becoming more argumentative with his fellow scientists. He is not willing to discuss his feelings with Dr. Smith and will discuss only with his primary physician who is based in Iowa.

Consider the three patients and their unique problems. Each requires additional medical expertise that Dr. Smith is not capable of providing.

The three scientists require telecardiology, teleradiology and telepsychiatry evaluations respectively.

As a group, describe:

• The deliverables that are expected for each of the teleconsultation services required
• The various hardware, including medical devices, required (For example, Dr. Smith may need a Pulse Oximeter, ECG, and other devices for Scientist Chen. Scientist Sanchez may require and ultrasound, while Scientist Jones may need ongoing video conferencing counseling sessions.)
• The need for video or other features to be a component of the teleconsultation service
• The additional requirements for supporting an internationally-based service

Also, rank the services in regards to importance and ease. Describe the criteria you used and the rationale behind the ranking.
