本文介绍了人道主义危机中远程医疗支持的军事概念,即医疗指挥、控制、通信和远程医疗特种医疗增强小组 (MC3T SMART TEAM),如何从理论概念转变为运作实体。欧洲地区医疗司令部 (ERMC) MC3T SMART TEAM 在与第 212 机动陆军外科医院 (MASH) 的军事训练演习中成功测试了其能力。随后,在非洲计划的人道主义支持任务期间成功执行了现实生活中的远程医疗支持任务,然后在巴基斯坦执行了紧急灾难支持任务。在执行这些任务时,SMART 团队通过有限带宽的移动卫星设备提供了互联网和电子邮件的访问,通过向参谋人员介绍美国陆军的“陆军知识在线(AKO)远程咨询计划”建立了工作远程医疗流程,并成功地将第 212 团的数字放射成像系统与“三军全球加密图像存档和通信系统(PACS)和远程放射学网络”建立了连接。
This paper describes how a military concept for telemedicine support in humanitarian crisis, the Medical Command, Control, Communication and Telemedicine Special Medical Augmentation Team (MC3T SMART TEAM), was transitioned from a theoretical concept into a functioning, operational entity. The European Regional Medical Command (ERMC) MC3T SMART TEAM successfully tested its capabilities during a military training exercise with the 212th mobile army surgical hospital ( MASH). This was followed by successful real-life telemedicine support missions during a planned humanitarian support mission in Africa and then an emergency disaster support mission in Pakistan. While on these missions, the SMART team provided access to the Internet and e-mail by means of limited bandwidth mobile satellite equipment, established a working telemedicine process by introducing the staff to the United States Army's "Army Knowledge Online (AKO) Remote Consultation Program," and established a successful connection of the 212th's digital radiography system to the " Tri-Service Global Encrypted Picture Archiving and Communication System ( PACS) and Teleradiology Network."
