Remote Medical Diagnosis System (RMDS) Utilization Study

摘要

Remote medical diagnosis systems are being successfully utilized for consultation in rural health care programs and private radiology practices. Consultation over RMDS-type systems reduces medical referrals and evaluations and assists in making triage decisions with a greater degree of confidence. RMDS-type systems can be used effectively for teleradiology consultations. The utilization of RMDS on ships and at remote shore sites has the potential for improved diagnoses. Nonphysician health care providers are more inclined to use telemedicine than physicians.
