Some additional points that we believe are key to the adoption of this amazing technology: 1. Can it be used from anywhere, by anyone at anytime? As a physician, if I have to leave my building to consult to someone on the system installed at a fixed location it is terribly inconvenient to me and my practice. If I can consult from my office, home, or on the road, to a patient or constituent that might be in any other location, the use of the system will be higher. 2. The telemedicine technology must be so simple to use that it actually encourages use, and it has to work every time. End-user training should be a function of minutes. Advanced users should be fluent with the system within 30 minutes. 3. Finally, the system must support all aspects of the HIPAA regulations. No just secure connectivity, but support for the rules of participation in an online event, access to content, and the ability to log use by any user so that an audit may be provided at some future time. The HIPPA regulation is a deep and comprehensive document. Claiming compliance by simply providing “secure connectivity” appears very naive. We have an exciting future as the healthcare model is tailored to meet the needs of the providers and receivers of care. Thanks for the reference!
