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.

Patient Informatics is a new aspect of Medical Informatics that largely reflects the empowered healthcare consumer. Patients are aware that many non-healthcare businesses are automating and modernizing their business processes to attract a larger market share. Web portals are web-based programs that patients can access for health services. A web portal can be a standalone program or it can be integrated with an electronic health record. Patient portals began as a web based entrance to a healthcare system for the purpose of learning about a hospital, healthcare system or physician’s practice. Patients would like to have the same automation and convenience of an ATM machine applied to healthcare. Patients are using the Internet as the medical library of choice before and after seeing clinicians. Patient web portals are now available that are standalone or integrated with electronic health records that offer a multitude of patient oriented services.

Summary:

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.

The future of Telemedicine and Medical informatics is mainly accessible to under-served rural and urban populations and is easy and quick access to specialists. Telemedicine mainly adds thousands of skilled specialists to the healthcare team. Telemedicine is the developing future medicine with improving the medical science and medical care technology.

The Growth of Las Vegas 
 
The city of Las Vegas was joined in 1911. Around then it was a little settlement with a populace of around 1,000. In any case it soon developed considerably bigger. By 1920 Las Vegas had a populace of more than 2,000. At that point in 1931 work started on building the Hoover Dam. Accordingly the number of inhabitants in Las Vegas blasted. In the interim the territory of Nevada authorized betting in 1931 and clubhouse were established in Las Vegas. In 1941 El Rancho Vegas opened as the principal resort on The Strip. After the Second World War Las Vegas blossomed with betting. Its populace blasted. By 1960 Las Vegas had in excess of 64,000 individuals. 
 
The Dolphin opened in 1946. The Riviera opened in 1955. At that point in 1966 the antisocial tycoon Howard Hughes moved to Las Vegas. That year, 1966 Caesars Palace opened. Bazaar Circus opened in 1968. In the late twentieth century Las Vegas kept on becoming quickly. Its populace blasted. In the mean time The Liberace Museum opened in Las Vegas in 1979 and the Fremont Street Experience was worked in 1995.
