Mobile Healthcare Worker Personnel Dispatch In A Telemedicine System

摘要

A telemedicine system including a care coordination software platform allows for patient monitoring at home and connects patients to their medical teams via telemedicine using a HIPAA compliant video portal augmented by remote assisted physical examination, performance of diagnostic testing including labs and x-rays, and provision of appropriate treatment and prescriptions. Medical care is provided at the patient's location without the patient having to travel or spend time in waiting rooms, provides treatment based on objective physical examination data and any appropriate diagnostic testing, and provides validation of patient identity. Healthcare providers are made available via online video encounters to communicate with patients. Allied healthcare workers are dispatched to be in physical proximity to the patient to assist in physical examination, and provide diagnostic data. Providers order appropriate treatments and prescriptions based on examination findings and diagnostics. The telemedicine system interfaces with medical sensors and collects data wired or wirelessly.
