Telemedicine

Telemedicine enables a matching of supply and demand of certain health resources using cost effective internet-based tools, to overcome the limits of physical space. Patients can be monitored and treated with remote support, often combining a less skilled local care provider with a more highly skilled remote provider. This not only extends resources but provides a point of information capture for critical program management interventions. CAMRIS has extensive hands-on experience in developing and managing telemedicine projects and has done so under more than a dozen contracts, including at the global level for major public sector clients. Some sample telemedicine projects completed by our staff include:

• Telemedicine Program Support – Air Force Center for Telemedicine and Theater Informatics
• Telemedicine System – Navy Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
• Telemedicine System – Federal Bureau of Prisons, Bronx, NY
• Telemedicine System – Federal Bureau of Prisons, Martinsburg, WV
• Telemedicine System – Federal Indian Health Hospital, San Carlos, AZ
