The success of emergency telemedicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Full Abstract
The Telemedicine Program at the State University of New York at Buffalo, School of Medicine, and the Erie County Medical Center (UB/ECMC) represents a "quiet success story" for telemedicine development. Though a relatively young program starting in 1992, it demonstrates steady and consistent progress in the areas of clinical services, education and research as it continues to develop as a comprehensive university telemedicine program. The Emergency Telemedicine program provided 2,294 consultations in 2001. Other services included clinics in Gastroenterology, Infectious Disease (HIV/AIDS), Psychiatry, Orthopedic Hand Surgery, Dermatology, and Neurology. The UB/ECMC program has sponsored regular education activities with a focus on internet protocol (IP) videoconferencing for grand rounds in emergency medicine and traffic injury research, nursing education, distance precepting of nurse practitioner students on clinical rotations, Megaconference I and II presentations, and the continuing exploration of advanced tools for educational presentation over the internet. The program's research activities have focused on portable, roll-about telemedicine systems and virtual palpation using a data glove.
