By: PETER JUNE RUFON
BSN-RN
2. Definition:
• Telemedicine is the delivery of health-related
services and information using
telecommunications and other technologies.
• It is “healing at a distance”.
• It works by bridging the information and
communication gap between patients and
health care members of community using
technology.
4. Types:
• Synchronous (Real-Time)
= the exchange of pre-recorded data between two or
more individuals at different times.
= Example: e-mail describing medical case to an expert
who sends back an opinion, diagnosis & management.
• Asynchronous (Store-and-Forward)
=requires the involved individuals to be simultaneously
present for immediate exchange of information.
= Example: phone referrals, videoconferencing and
robotic surgery.
5. Issues:
• Technical Issues:
= lack of supporting infrastructure.
= variation in computer expertise among patients.
• Ethical Issues:
= data security
= privacy concerns.
13. Physical Security – clinical data must be housed in a secured room with
locks to be accessed by qualified personnel to reduce or eliminate tampering.
14. Computer security is never absolute.
• It is always a matter of
… relative risk
…relative benefit
