“…Every day, more options for telemedicine and telehealth appear in the worldwide media, in order to do away with outpatient follow-ups. [17][18][19][20][21] Speculation regarding performing surgery in space even appears to be coming closer to reality. 22 We feel that our experience with telemedicine videoconferencing has increased students' interest and has helped our institution to follow and discuss protocols that are already accepted worldwide.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Telehealth and telemedicine services are advancing rapidly, with an increasing spectrum of information and communication technologies that can be applied broadly to the population's health, and to medical education. The aim here was to report our institution's experience from 100 videoconferencing meetings between five different countries in the Americas over a one-year period. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective study at Universidade Estadual de Campinas. METHODS: Through a Microsoft Excel database, all conferences in all specialties held at our institution from September 2009 to August 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 647 students, physicians and professors participated in telemedicine meetings. A monthly mean of 8.3 (± 4.3) teleconferences were held over the analysis period. Excluding holidays and the month of inaugurating the telemedicine theatre, our teleconference rate reached a mean of 10.3 (± 2.7), or two teleconferences a week, on average. Trauma surgery and meetings on patient safety were by far the most common subjects discussed in our teleconference meetings, accounting for 22% and 21% of the total calls. CONCLUSION: Our experience with telemedicine meetings has increased students' interest; helped our institution to follow and discuss protocols that are already accepted worldwide; and stimulated professors to promote telemedicine-related research in their own specialties and keep up-to-date. These high-technology meetings have shortened distances in our vast country, and to other reference centers abroad. This virtual proximity has enabled discussion of international training with students and residents, to increase their overall knowledge and improve their education within this institution.

The rapidly growing of the world's population makes efficient Healthcare System (HS) management more and more important to all stakeholders, from patients and healthcare providers, to insurance companies and governments. The use of advanced information and networking technologies to advance health care management has long been recognized as the most effective way. Hence, healthcare organizations are often compared with manufacturing systems, and techniques and models from production systems are adapted to solve healthcare management problems. This paper presents a review about the relevant approaches in the related literature to model and simulate HSs with particular focus on discrete event system approaches. In particular, some works are recalled with more detail to show the integrated use of different formalisms in order to model and manage conventional HSs (e.g., hospital departments) as well as novel healthcare paradigms, like health at home and electronic health. © 2014 IEEE

The Health At Home (HAH) is an alternative to the traditional hospital to promote the early discharge and to help patients and elderly people to live autonomously. This paper specifies and models an Integrated System (IS) devoted to the HAH management at the operational level. The IS is designed to monitor the daily living of the apartment inhabitant, detect the possible troubles and accidents, communicate with family, doctors and emergency services. A Petri net model in a modular approach is proposed, in order to effectively describe the actions and the activities of the IS.
