3rd Annual Pediatric Telehealth Colloquium

描述（由申请人提供）：第三届年度儿科远程医疗讨论会是一个为期两天的会议，拟于9月15日至17日在佛罗里达的坦帕举行。我们的目标是创建一个论坛，将医疗提供者，医院管理人员和信息技术专家聚集在一起，分享，传播和培训他人开发和改进临床远程医疗计划。这些儿科临床远程医疗计划的目的是增加获得护理的机会，减少护理差异，并提高为儿童提供的护理的整体质量 在财政上可持续的框架内，在农村和服务不足的医疗社区。 会议目标：会议将向两个供应商提供信息， 远程医疗（中心站点）和远程医疗用户（远程站点），通常位于农村和服务不足的社区。为期两天的会议的目标是：1）提供远程医疗计划的技术，管理和临床操作的概述; 2）演示远程医疗如何在各种临床环境中用于帮助儿科患者的护理; 3）传播成功使用该技术的信息，以改善向儿童提供护理的机会，质量和效率; 4）提供所需的信息，以确保一个自我维持的，财政上可行的，成功的远程医疗计划;和5）分享目前的努力，如何评估和研究远程医疗的过程和护理结果的影响。 方法：我们计划通过互动讲座，科学会议以及关于五个目标的研讨会来实现我们的目标。我们将提供讲座，科学会议和研讨会，以帮助与会者更好地了解远程医疗技术，并提供在门诊和住院设置儿科远程医疗护理模式的例子。演讲者将从一系列的经验和背景中选出，并将包括来自新的和已建立的项目，来自中心和远程站点，以及来自学术和农村/服务不足站点的临床医生，管理员和技术人员。我们还将包括科学会议，包括平台介绍，针对远程医疗的新颖和创新的用途，以及海报介绍，针对远程医疗的临床和方案问题。 在这个小型会议补助金的提案中，我们要求为会议提供部分资金，以补贴农村从业者和在医疗服务不足的社区工作的从业者的注册，客座教师的演讲费，以抵消他们的自付会议费用，以及会议组委会的工资支持和差旅费。 关键词：1）儿科; 2）远程医疗和远程医疗; 3）农村卫生; 4）研究; 5） 获得医疗保健; 5）初级保健提供者教育; 6）医疗保健差异; 7） 相关性：第三届年度儿科远程医疗讨论会将提供一个互动的 （c）为分享成功的远程医疗模式范例创造良好的环境，包括技术、方案、行政和财务考虑因素。研讨会还将分享成功的远程医疗计划如何利用这项技术为服务不足的地区提供医疗保健服务，并在财政上可持续的框架内实现这一目标。将远程医疗纳入儿科护理有助于增加向生活在农村和服务不足社区的儿童提供的护理的可及性，减少差距并提高护理质量。

DESCRIPTION (PROVIDED BY APPLICANT): The 3rd Annual Pediatric Telehealth Colloquium is a two day conference proposed to be held in between September 15-17 in Tampa, Florida. We aim to create a forum, which brings together medical providers, hospital administrators and information technology specialists to share, disseminate, and train others to develop and improve clinical telemedicine programs. The purpose of these pediatric clinical telemedicine programs is to increase access to care, reduce disparities in care, and increase the overall quality of care delivered to children in rural and underserved medical communities in a financially sustainable framework. Conference Objective: The conference will provide information to both the providers of telemedicine (hub sites) and users of telemedicine (remote sites), typically located in rural and underserved communities. The objectives of the two day conference are to: 1) provide an overview of the technical, administrative and clinical operations of a telemedicine program; 2) demonstrate how telemedicine can be used to assist in the care of pediatric patients in a variety of clinical settings; 3) disseminate information on the successful use of this technology to improve the access, quality and efficiency of care delivered to children; 4) provide theinformation required to ensure a self-sustaining, financially viable, successful telemedicine program; and 5) share current efforts on how to evaluate and research the impact of telemedicine on processes and outcomes of care. Methods: We plan to achieve our objectives through interactive lectures, scientific sessions, as well as workshops on the five objectives. We will provide lectures, scientific sessions and workshops to help attendees better understand the technology of telemedicine and provide examples pediatric telemedicine care models in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Speakers will be selected from a range of experience and backgrounds, and will include clinicians, administrator and technicians from new and established programs, from hub and remote sites, and from academic and rural/underserved sites. We will also include scientific sessions that include platform presentations, targeted at novel and innovative uses of telemedicine, as well as poster presentations, targeted at clinical and programmatic issues in telemedicine. In this proposal for small conference grant we requests partial funding for the conference to subsidize registration for rural practitioners and practitioners working in medically underserved communities, speaker fees for guest faculty to offset their out of pocket conference cost, and salary support and travel for the conference organizing committee. Key Words Words: 1) Pediatrics; 2) Telehealth and Telemedicine; 3) Rural Health; 4) Research; 5) Access to Health Care; 5) Primary Care Provider Education; 6) Healthcare Disparities; 7) Relevance: The 3rd rd Annual Pediatric Telehealth Colloquium will provide an interactive environment for sharing examples of successful telemedicine models, including technical, programmatic, administrative, and financial considerations. The colloquium will also share how successful telemedicine programs have used this technology to provided health care services to underserved areas and accomplish this in a financially sustainable framework. Incorporating telemedicine into pediatric care can help increase access, decrease disparities and increase quality of care provided to children living in rural and underserved communities.
