“…11 The US Navy has many vessels equipped with videolinks, enabling the general surgeons on board to link up with specialist centres by satellite for advice about how to handle complicated injuries. 12 In the case of a major civil disaster, similar services could be provided by a mobile audiovisual system, carried to the site of the disaster by a helicopter. The helicopter could also function as a relay station for the telecommunications required.…”

Telemedicine is a vast subject, but as yet there are limited data on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of most telemedicine applications. As a result, objective information about the benefits and drawbacks of telemedicine is limited. This review is therefore based mainly on preliminary results, opinions and predictions. Many potential benefits of telemedicine can be envisaged, including: improved access to information; provision of care not previously deliverable; improved access to services and increasing care delivery; improved professional education; quality control of screening programmes; and reduced health-care costs. Although telemedicine clearly has a wide range of potential benefits, it also has some disadvantages. The main ones that can be envisaged are: a breakdown in the relationship between health professional and patient; a breakdown in the relationship between health professionals; issues concerning the quality of health information; and organizational and bureaucratic difficulties. On balance, the benefits of telemedicine are substantial, assuming that more research will reduce or eliminate the obvious drawbacks.

A healthcare pattern collection for the rural telemedicine services contains a union telemedicine clinic center, an integrated telemedicine healthcare equipment and an electronic health record (EHR) system were implemented in National Taiwan University Hospital. The healthcare registration patterns integrate the telemedicine center to enhance the acceptability of the healthcare services for the hilly region and redeem the lack of medicine man power in such area. Meanwhile, the derived patterns utilize the healthcare equipment to integrate the required information and EHR to process the clinical reports. The patterns serve a better-factored design. Many recurring patterns are identified to describe the design of the telemedicine services in this study.

“…A projected structural model by W. J. Chimiak, Rainer, J.M. Chimiak, and Martinez (1997) examined the concepts and technologies needed to establish a telemedicine system for the entire Navy Fleet. The article detailed the structure and interrelationships among components of Navy telemedicine architecture and discussed a possible implementation scenario to promote remote medical care in the Fleet.…”
