Track 1: Telemedicine
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technologies to provide clinical and medical health care at a distance. It helps to eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to clinical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations. Although there were distant precursors to telemedicine, it is essentially a product of 20th century telecommunication and information technologies. These technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and loyalty, as well as the transmission of medical, imaging and health informatics data from one site to another. It is a process for accurate data collection in digital format and an electronic medical record for data incorporation and remote transmission Telemedicine is a system for automatically flagging and providing feedback for outlier data.

The use of information and communication technology to deliver medical services and information from one location to another is telemedicine. Telemedicine can be seen as a way of distributing medical expertise and services to medically underserviced areas such as remote and rural areas using Information technology as a communication platform. For more than 30 years, clinicians, health services researchers, and others have been investigating the use of advanced telecommunications and computer technologies to improve health care. At the intersection of many of these efforts is telemedicine—a combination of mainstream and innovative information technologies. The science of analysis, documentation control and synthesis of information processes within the health care delivery system especially in environment and medical practice is medical informatics. Telemedicine is utilized by health providers in a growing number of medical specialties.Telemedicine consists teledermatology, teleradiology, telecardiology, telepsychiatry and home health care. Telemedicine is reality today and has come to stay. In Telemedicine one transfers the expertise, not the patient. The term telehealth can refer to clinical and non-clinical services such as medical education and clinical research and telemedicine refers only to the provision of medical services.
