HEALTH APPLICATIONS OF THE NATIONAL INFORMATION

这项研究计划旨在证明安全的可行性 公共电信网络上的临床远程医疗，并表明， 它作为整体医疗保健计划的组成部分的采用可能导致 在节约成本和改善农村人口获得优质医疗保健方面， 人口。 将开发三种远程医疗应用程序，以满足 重症监护提供者、中级提供者和家庭护理患者。的 应用将利用强加密和认证设施， 使授权用户能够安全地访问电子医疗 记录和患者监护仪数据，并与合作伙伴协商 医疗保健提供者在治疗患者。 这些应用程序将在诊所和医院进行实地试验， 合作医疗机构。项目评估阶段 包括评估这些远程医疗应用对 提供医疗保健，以及评估措施，以确保 电子患者信息的安全性和完整性。 我们相信，我们的评估工作的结果，如果得到广泛传播， 将使医疗保健行业接受远程医疗作为一个关键部分， 全面的医疗保健体系。

This research proposal aims to demonstrate the viability of secure clinical telemedicine on public telecommunication networks and show that its adoption as an integral part of an overall healthcare plan can result in cost savings and improved access to quality healthcare for rural populations. Three telemedicine applications will be developed to meet the needs of intensive care providers, mid-level providers and homecare patients. The applications will utilize strong encryption and authentication facilities, enabling authorized users to have secure access to electronic medical records and patient monitor data, and to confer with collaborating healthcare providers in the treatment of patients. These applications will undergo field trials at clinics and hospitals of partnering healthcare organizations. The assessment phase of the project includes evaluating the impact of these telemedicine applications on the delivery of healthcare, as well as evaluating measures to ensure the security and integrity of electronic patient information. We believe the results of our evaluation effort when widely disseminated will enable the healthcare industry embrace telemedicine as a key part of an overall healthcare system.
