TELEMEDICINE: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE |
| 23 November 2005 |
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications for medical diagnosis and patient care. It involves the use of telecommunications technology as a medium for the provision of medical services to sites that are at a distance from the
provider. The concept encompasses everything from the use of standard telephone service through high speed, wide bandwidth transmission of digitized signals in conjunction with computers, fiber optics, satellites, and other sophisticated peripheral equipment and software. Telemedicine can be divided into three areas: aids to decision-making, remote sensing, and collaborative arrangements for the real-time management of patients at a distance. As an aid to decision-making, telemedicine includes areas such as remote expert systems that contribute to patient diagnosis or the use of online databases in the actual practice of medicine. This aspect of telemedicine is the oldest in concept. Remote sensing consists of the transmittal of patient information, such as electrocardiographic signals, x-rays, or patient records, from a remote site to a collaborator in a distant site. It can also include transmittal of grand rounds for medical education purposes or teleconferences for continuing education. Collaborative arrangements consist of using technology to actually allow one practitioner to observe and discuss symptoms with another practitioner whose patients are far away. This raises important issues of referral and payment arrangements, staff credentialing, liability, and licensure potentially crossing state lines. Two-way workstations, which provide smooth digital motion pictures, have been integral to the long distance, real-time treatment of patients. As new technology is found, collaborative arrangements are the future of telemedicine. The concept of telemedicine is not new. Articles on telemedicine projects can be found in the literature over the past twenty-five to thirty years. To gain an historical perspective, this bibliography covers the literature on all three aspects of telemedicine described above going back to 1966 and written in the English language. Each of the three areas is limited to aspects of medical diagnosis, patient care, and education. It includes human as well as veterinary medicine, and includes the technical aspects as well as the clinical concerns. Areas of patient record storage or shared hospital and computer resources are not addressed since they do not relate directly to patient care. Several related issues such as the Unified Medical Language System, Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems, and communications technology infrastructures, are addressed but only as they relate to telemedicine. Arrangement is by subject, and items may appear in more than one category. Within each category, arrangement is alphabetical by author. |
