Peoplelink’s   Commentary The following commentary is provided by Peoplelink regarding online meetings and virtual "collaboration environments" in healthcare and PACS.  More specifically, there are many examples of video conferencing in telemedicine expanding the reach of consultations to remote general practitioners, clinics and patients.
The Benefits of Telemedicine Nothing quite takes the place of a doctor's reassuring bedside manner. There was a time when doctors actually went from house to house treating patients in the comfort of their own homes. Unfortunately, house calls are all but extinct, at least in India.  Although technology cannot take the place of a visit to the family doctor, web and video conferencing are emerging as powerful components in telemedicine and telehealth initiatives worldwide. The integration of video conferencing into these programs has been able to help many patients, and has enabled doctors to communicate with specialists in order to make critical diagnoses faster.  Telemedicine is the use of medical information that is exchanged from one treatment site to another via electronic communications. The term telehealth is closely related to telemedicine. It describes remote healthcare that may or may not include clinical services. Both telemedicine and telehealth may comprise videoconferencing, transmission of still images, document sharing, e-health (patient portals for example), remote monitoring of vital signs, and some of the application areas noted below. Many medical specialty areas have taken advantage of telemedicine including: dermatology, ophthalmology, mental health, cardiology and pathology to name a few. According to some reports and studies, almost 50 different medical subspecialties have successfully used telemedicine.  Peoplelink is a complete version of Video and data conferencing solution and Telemedicine of India has evaluated this and stated Peoplelink is the best fit solution for telemedicine technology.

Video Conferencing and PACS The field of radiology has made great use of telemedicine with thousands of images read by remote providers each year. Not only does video conferencing from a standard PC allow the real-time viewing of these images, even those from PACS systems, diagnosis can be rendered faster and no overnight shipping costs are incurred as a result.  Picture archiving and communication systems, or PACS as it is more commonly known, is becoming more prevalent in medical imaging. This term covers the use of computers and networks in the capture, storage and distribution of images. In the last decade, General Electric, Siemens and others have implemented PACS-related standards in their imaging equipment and supporting peripheral systems.  There are many web and video conferencing systems — including  Peoplelink Web and Video Conferencing — that are compatible with PACS and allow secure, ad hoc conferencing between remote practitioners that allows them to display medical images, charts, and other diagnostic results. That is not to say a conferencing system meets the PACS technical specifications for diagnostic purposes (which is beyond the scope of this article), rather it complements a PACS installation providing a secure online meeting environment to radiologists for consultations, collaboration, teaching forums, and so on.  Regardless of the field of medicine, telemedicine can prevent or decrease high travel costs, uncomfortable delays and family separation by bringing high-quality, specialized care to those who need it — regardless of where they reside. Instituting telemedicine into a health provider practice is fairly simple. The only equipment that is required is a standard PC with a high-speed Internet connection and a web camera.
Large healthcare systems, such as state prisons, can also take advantage of the remote access provided by telepsychiatry. Many state prisons are located in small towns in very rural areas and as a result, have a difficult time recruiting psychiatrists. Utilizing video conferencing systems from the prison, the inmate population would have direct access to qualified specialists no matter where they are located. In order for the widespread adoption of telepsychiatry, the programs must prove they are cost-effective. The decreasing cost of the technology, especially IP-based videoconferencing, will only help in establishing proof of cost-efficiency. Secondly, an increasing willingness on the part of Medicare to reimburse for telemedicine services would most likely result in increasing acceptance of services by third-party payers. Before this happens, standards of practice must be developed that are reasonable, fair and replicable. At this point in time, there are no empirical studies that prove the benefits or support the establishment of a telepsychiatry program. Not enough studies have been done to date. The studies that have been done do support telepsychiatry as a means of conducting assessments and improving a patient's clinical status. The emergence of IP-based web and video conferencing, accomplished by installing software on one server and providing access to other individuals on standard PCs with high-speed Internet connections, will undoubtedly add to the eventual widespread adoption of telemedicine, telehealth and telepsychiatry programs throughout the country and the world. As the cost of PCs and video conferencing software decreases, it will make traveling great distances for diagnosis and consultations a thing of the past much like the doctor house call.
Requirements and Selection Criteria in Telemedicine There are many web, VoIP and video conferencing technology alternatives. At the highest level, the broad classes of product include dedicated point-to-point hardware systems that may offer video only, and which are limited to two participants without the installation of video-switching equipment; IP-based conferencing services; and on-premise, IP-based conferencing software. The latter two classes of solutions use the TCP/IP network protocol to connect two or more parties across remote locations (often called "IP-based"). This can be a mix of public or private Internet connections.  The following are the relevant, new capabilities introduced by IP-based systems: The ability to conference with more than two people at a time. The ability to include application, desktop and document sharing in the same session in conjunction with a videoconference. And most importantly, the ability to connect virtually any user, anytime, anywhere.  Note: this is really a combination of using standard PCs and Internet connections, plus off-the-shelf (PC-based) video peripherals (i.e., no expensive video conferencing hardware and switching equipment required). Peoplelink Video conferencing solution supports any kind of internet network like Broad band, Leased Line,MPLS,V-Sat,LAN,WAN and wireless also this solution supports Concurrent user policy where in one license can be transferable  n  number of locations.
