- 10. Telehealth Terminology Live-interactive Refers to telemedicine encounters where the patient, primary care provider with the patient, and the specialist in a different location are on- line at the same time, interacting real-time and not delayed. Store-and-forward In contrast to live-interactive telemedicine encounters, this means the health provider where the patient is at stores the data from the encounter in a digital format, and then forwards the data to a specialist. Health Information Exchange The coordination of appropriate electronic records for the health needs of the patients and providers. Security is governed by patient and facility permission levels.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Statewide surveillance and vaccination programs, as well as present day clinical care can be a challenge in Alaska.This map here shows to scale, the State of Alaska in comparison to the contiguous United States. The red lines indicate our referral pattern for the Alaska Tribal Health System from village clinic all the way to our central hospital in Anchorage. The green lines depict our road systems in the state.We like to say that if Anchorage was Kansas City, Missouri – we have patients in Duluth Minnesota (Far North), Savannah Georgia (Southeast Atlantic Coast) and Los Angeles, California.A large proportion of our hepatitis B patients reside in southwest Alaska, where there is no road access. Access to these communities varies by season, and includes transportation by small aircraft, snow machine and boat.
- Starting in the village clinic – these are the farthest satellites in the Alaska Tribal Health System. Village communities can range in population from < 100 to more than 500Medical care in the village is conducted by Community Health Aides – these are local residents who go through a rigorous 3 month didactic in basic medical care and techniques. Many village clinics are also equipped with telemedicine capabilities, by which Health Aides can work and communicate with regional doctors, as well as doctors and specialists in Anchorage during patient examination and treatment.
- Regional Health Centers are in larger population hubs, populations ranging around 1000 to 20,000 residents.These are larger hospitals with greater capabilities, such as ultrasound, CT, small clinical laboratories, and limited operation.Those from village communities must usually fly by small aircraft to be transported to a regional health centerThe Maniilaq Health Center is a good example of Arctic Construction and Design – Buildings must sit up above ground because of the frozen tundra below, which causes instability during every freeze/thaw of the seasons. The permafrost below the top layer of the tundra also prohibits construction design from driving pilings for a firm foundation into the ground.
- Anchorage is where the only centralized hospital in the state is located. ANMC is home to most specialized care and surgery services for the Alaska Tribal Health System.Patients from regional clinics most often travel to ANMC by commercial airline, which operate 1 or 2 flights a day from the region to Anchorage. (Weather dependent of course!).Alaska Native Medical Center is the highest trauma unit in the State of Alaska, at a Trauma 2 level. Thus, sometimes the patient must be transported once again, to Seattle, which is approximately 1500 miles away, and transported by commercial airline.
- Not sure I get the links on side of this slide
- The store and forward software developed by AFHCAN is used throughout the world (pics here showing that our software is being used by the space station; by providers travelling throughout Africa, using portable kits (both pics right and lower left).
- There are two kinds of telemedicine, store and forward and Video teleconferencing (VTC). Some specialites are best suited for vtc and others for s&f or both. STORE AND FORWARD and vtc telemedicine are reimbursable in Alaska and Hawaii, unlike the lower 48 where only vtc is billable.
- This is where it is created (rural clinic)
- Cases received in rural hub or at ANMC specialty clinics. ENT and Dermatology are the two specialties that utlized telemedicine the most.
- Provider surveyed report using telemedicine because it provides the best care and increased access to care
- The goal of telehealth is improved patient care.
- In 2011 over 30,000 telemedicine cases were created. Primary care (blue) are cases that stay within an organization, typically a case created in a village and sent to a provider in a regional hub. Specialty cases are consultations sent to and completed by a specialist at ANMC
- When the telemedicine program began, a study was completed by the Audiology program showing a significant decrease in wait time. Pre-telemedicine, 47% of patients had to wait more than 4 months to be seen.Providers still travel to rural villages for field clinics. Specialties using telemedicine can spend less time with follow up visits and have more time for sicker patients.
- Estimated travel savings. Blue line shows travel savings for primary care (not having to travel from village to regional hub) and specialty care (not having to travel to Anchorage to see specialist at ANMC).
- Friends set-netting (personal subsistence) at the mouth of the Kasiof river.
- We started LiverConnect on a wing and a prayer. It is a live telehealth program that we started without any grant funding. Myself and our other liver clinic providers participate in University of Washington’s Hepatitis C Project Echo. However, there were special needs to address in Alaska. We saw the need to discuss broader liver disease topics – not just hepatitis C and the 10:45am start time (11:45 Pacific time) didn’t work for us in Alaska.
- So our staff consists of:
- Participation in LiverConnect earns the participant 1 CEU/CME for each hour session attended.
- So a variety of liver disease cases have been presented.
- Also, we have a broad range of topics presented on liver disease, related topics and comorbid diseases.
- Here are some of our distant participants visible on screen.
- We had to move to a larger conference room as the word got out among local providers.
- We’re working on expanding the program now. We’ll be adding AdobeConnect as a way to access LiverConnect through the internet. Also, we hope to be able to record future LiverConnect programs for later viewing and potentially CME/CEU credit to participants watching the recordings.
- Possible diagnoses included: Autoimmune hepatitis, alcohol hepatitis. Case discussed among rural provider, participants and liver clinic specialists. Decision made to bring patient in for biopsy.
- Currently, we have the presentations loaded onto our website – but there is no audio with those Powerpoint presentations, but you can read them.
- We feel that LiverConnect is just the tip of the iceberg of ways telemedicine can be used to help improve HIV and hepatitis C patient care.Coord care: example – transplant coordination.
- If you want to start your own program, these are some of the main questions we asked ourselves…
- Items to consider:Do you have IT support?If you use a program such as Adobe Connect, do you need multiple licenses?Figure out how you will handle protected health information.Advertising – How? To Whom?Feedback – Complete evaluations after each session. How do you evaluate those who are not using the service?
- Alaska also has a Telehealth Technology Assessment Center which evaluates telehealth equipment and works closely with telehealth resource centers to provide answers to questions about selecting appropriate technologies for telehealth programs. Website www.telehealthtac.org
- The Telehealth Technology Assessment Center or TTAC provides an unbiased source of rich information on a wide variety of telehealth technologies. The TTAC serves to raise awareness of technologies, answer questions, compile information from vendors and other sources and perform in-house evaluations on technologies. The TTAC shares the information through local, regional and national channels. The TTAC tailors its service offerings based on collaboration with the 11 regional Telehealth Resource Centers or TRCs across the United States. Services rendered vary from simple phone consultations to highly complex toolkits covering the evaluation and selection of specific technologies. Their published works, recorded webinars and other resources can be found on their website at www.TelehealthTAC.org.
