Telemedicine Basics
The term 'telemedicine' has been derived from the Greek 'tele' meaning 'at a distance' and
'medicine' which is from the Latin word 'mederi' meaning 'healing'. This phrase
was first coined in the 70s by Thomas Bird.
The European
Commission's health care telematics programme defines telemedicine as:
"rapid access to shared and remote medical expertise by means of telecommunications and information technologies, no matter where the patient or relevant information is located."
In plain speak, telemedicine is a process by which a patient is able to communicate his problems (along with, if necessary, details of medical investigations) to a doctor many miles away and receive necessary and relevant medical advice. Imagine the advantages it confers upon a patient who is miles away from the nearest medical aid post, in some cases this could even be life saving. In a lighter vein, when your doc, on the phone, told you to 'take an aspirin and call me in the morning' he was actually practicing telemedicine!
Telemedicine
is cutting edge technology which has the potential to enlighten YOUR life
whatever 
your
background. As a patient
it makes life extremely comfortable and brings super-specialist services
almost to your door step, where ever you live. To a hospital
administrator or the CEO of a hospital it means extended
reach, higher efficiency, greater patient satisfaction and higher profits.
As a rural GP
you find the 24 hr advice of specialists not only a great support but also
a relief as it saves many of your patients long trips to the nearest city
hospital. An insurance agency
sees it as a means to cover a larger group of people at lower costs.
Telemedicine is primarily focused on providing support towards curing an illness. Today we have expanded the scope of telemedicine to include the preventive and promotive aspects of healthcare. This new avatar is called Telehealth, Tele-Health, EHealth or E-Health depending on which group or company you are from. Bottom line - they all mean the same. To know more about EHealth or Telehealth please click here. For formal definitions of EHealth or Telehealth click here.
Whichever way you see it, it is definitely a winner. Ask your Health service provider about telemedicine today! Discuss it with your Hospital superintendent when you next visit your hospital.
