“…It changes the current clinical protocols and increases the physician's workload during the first stages of implementation. This is vital for a successful development and installation of telemedicine services in a real clinical environment and can be considered on a strategic or on a practical plane [25].…”

Telemedicine is modifying classical health care by providing effective solutions to an increasing number of new situations. This article summarizes the potential benefits made available by this technology in diabetes care, and describes in detail how the new DIABTel Telemedicine Service complements the daily care of diabetic patients. The basic functions of the telemedicine system include telemonitoring of patient's blood glucose data and self-management actions, and remote care from doctors to diabetic patients. The system's architecture comprises two main components: the Medical Workstation, a PC-based system to be used by physicians and nurses in Diabetes Day Centre units in hospitals, and the Patient Unit, a palmtop-computer to be used by patients in their day to day activities. Both components, in an integrated approach, offer tools to doctors and patients for data collection and management, viewing and interpretation modules, data/message exchange services and an interactive glucose/insulin simulator for educational purposes. The DIABTel telemedicine diabetes care procedure aims: (1) to improve communication of the patient with the hospital-based diabetologist, in between the patient's visits to the clinic; (2) to allow doctors to assess the patient's condition on a frequent basis (every week); (3) to help patients with management in the daily care of diabetes, and (4) to provide patients with a service of 'supervised autonomy', to increase patient's independence without decreasing the necessary continual support and supervision from the doctor. Finally, we discuss the practical problems, limitations and vital issues regarding implementation of the telemedicine service.

Loose Coupling and Healthcare Organizations: Deployment Strategies for Groupware

Healthcare organizations are often organized in a modular, loosely coupled fashion where separate and semi-autonomous work units specialize in different areas of care delivery. This partitioning allows each unit to adapt to emerging practice standards in its area of expertise and to adjust to its local work environment. However, organizational loose coupling can limit the flow of information within organizations and can make it difficult to coordinate services when patientsÕ care is dependent on professionals from more than one unit. Groupware systems have the potential to improve coordination and information access in healthcare organizations. However, modularity and loose coupling make it difficult to introduce new systems when they span more than one unit, since authority is not always centralized and since perceptions and frames of reference on new deployments differ across units. In this paper, we define a groupware deployment framework for loosely coupled healthcare organizations that has two parts: a set of deployment challenges and a set of deployment strategies. The deployment challenges include: difficulties centralizing deployments, perceptions of inequity, role conflicts, and problems achieving critical mass. The deployment strategies outline a preliminary set of approaches for addressing the difficulties of deploying CSCW systems in loosely coupled healthcare organizations. We illustrate the framework by presenting a case study of a groupware deployment in a home care setting.

Distributed Data Processing Framework for Oral Health Care Information Management Based on CSCWD Technology

The computer information processing, databases, graphics technology, can be widely applied to the dental clinic information management system. This paper presents a distributed data processing framework for the oral health care information management based on the CSCWD technology. The framework is based on a multi-layers distributed architecture, and is comprised by a collaborative toolkit of the videoconference tools, the cooperative oral health care information imaging diagnosis tools and the electronic patient records. The system can be applied to setup a cooperative oral health care diagnosis environment that allow doctors located in different hospitals to achieve a cooperative diagnosis through the dental images tools, telemedicine, dental electronic patient records (DEPR) and videoconference.
