Theater Style Demonstration: The Informatics for Diabetes Education And Telemedicine (IDEATel) Project

摘要

The Informatics for Diabetes Education And Telemedicine (IDEATel) project is one of the largest civilian telemedicine projects in the country. It incorporates a variety of home telemedicine and remote monitoring technologies, including synchronous and asynchronous physiologic monitoring, videoconferencing, secure messaging and web-based resources. In addition, the telemedicine components are tightly coupled to Columbia University Medical Center Electronic Medical Record (CUMC-EMR). The system incorporates both vendor and internally developed components. It is currently in use by over 600 patients and a variety of clinicians at two large academic medical centers.
