21st Century Telemedicine

Visual Communications has added a whole new dimension to absentia care and has now evolved dramatically into what is commonly referred to as Telemedicine.

Telemedicine is rapidly becoming an integral tool within the Health Service. Not just an application to offer patient care from a distance but also the transfer of knowledge, medical information and expertise to expedite patient care.

From applications including:

• Sharing Medical Images
• Access to geographically dispersed experts (overcoming geographical boundaries)
• Medical Education (remote and more frequent training sessions)
• Improvement in delivery of treatment
• Multidisciplinary Team Meetings
• Better and faster decision making (often critical in the medical world)
• Overcome local and national manpower shortages
• Two or more health professionals discussing a case
• General Service Improvement
• Real time consultation with consultants in different hospitals or even different countries

Whilst a high quality standard based, easy to use product where the “technology” is transparent is extremely important having a company who can design the right solution and help to seamless integrate the technology into day to day practice is key to the success. Direct Visual is a true specialist understanding the constant pressures to improve patient care and the issues which need to be overcome to implement telemedicine.
