"Connecting a Healthcare Provider Site to a Remote Site"
Tele-Med International (TMI) provides different and fully integrated telehealth solutions ranging from desktop applications to grand legacy systems to enable high definition video and audio conferencing. A HIPAA compliant secure FTP set-up facilitates the transfer of medical images and reports between the affiliate sites.
- World Class Doctors and Centers of Excellence provide consultations to remote sites with ease using the most up to date telehealth set-ups. A healthcare care provider site may be a hospital, a group of hospitals, a clinic or healthcare consortium.
- Doctors and patients at a "Remote Site" will be able to easily receive medical consultations from state of the art tele-healthcare providers. A remote site may be a hospital, a clinic, an ICU, an ambulance, a corporation, an urban development, an oil rig, a home, an office and others.
Telehealth is a complex operation. However through our collaborative business model TMI offers a "Turnkey Plug and Play" comprehensive telemedicine solution that is an individually tailored solution customized to fit the needs of each individual healthcare facility. One size does not fit all. A case study will precede setting up each particular healthcare facility. The case study will address several major identifying questions for each geographical region, population and individual health care facility:
- Why do you need a telemedicine service
- Available budget
- Telecommunication infra-structure support
- Required service and medical specialties
- Anticipated frequency of use of service
- Anticipated Patient volume
- How the service can best be integrated in an already existing healthcare system
Reasons to have a telemedicine service:
- Access to care model: This will usually be grant or government sponsored projects that target providing health care to regions that are underserved or geographically and logistically otherwise difficult to reach such as rural areas.
- Cost saving model: Providing an alternative health delivery model to reduce otherwise unacceptable costs. As in prisons, Off Shore oil rigs and to military facilities, disaster areas.
- Outreach model: Modern healthcare providers are willing to use telehealth technologies to reach healthcare markets that are otherwise difficult to access possibly across geographical borders (International Telemedicine).
