Boston Logan Airport to Massachusetts General Hospital 1967
Boston Logan Airport to Massachusetts General Hospital 1967 Collaboration between Logan International Airport and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) resulted in the establishment of the Logan International Airport Medical Aid Station. At the aid station employees in the airport and airline travelers could receive medical care from MGH physicians via a two-way audiovisual microwave circuit. The aid station was staffed with nurses with physicians present during the 4 hours of the day that were "peak" times. Nurses triaged each patient. NASA also played part in the development of telehealth in the 1960s with the intention of space exploration. Physiological data from the astronauts were collected by space suits and spacecraft, and transmitted to the medical staff on the ground for monitoring during missions STARPAHC - On the Papago Indian Reservation- 1975 HCPS relied on two way voice and video technologies transmitted remote care for residents
This system uses data acquisition, processing, dissemination, and feedback of information and assists nurses in the continuous cycle of knowledge generation and transmission

Health Literacy and EHealth Initiatives
Healthy people 2010 defines health literacy as, "The degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions" The eHealth Initiative (eHI) was developed to address the growing need for managing health information and to promote technology as a means of improving health information exchange, health literacy and health care delivery.
ADOPTION ISSUES
Historic resistance to change Lack of consistent adoption and integration pathways Changing service delivery models and payment coverage
Home Telehealth Practice and Protocols
Home telehealth programs will differ depending on the type of technology used and the focus of the telehealth programs. Informed written consent must be obtained from the client or designee before beginning the use of telehealth consultations.
Telehealth Patient Populations
Homebound Limited access to transportation Lack of primary care and emergency resources in rural or remote populations Acute care - strategy to reduce hospital length of stay Managing patients in a major disaster, large scale nuclear/bio-chemical attack or in the case of an outbreak of highly infectious disease.
Challenge: How to keep care patient-centered
How do we conceptualize patient-centered How is telehealth patient-centered? How is it not patient centered? Technology - 1950s moved care from home to hospital care not patient centered Technology 2012 - moved care from hospital to home Is physical presence necessary for patient- centered care?
Ethical Concerns
How provider or patient-centric is the technology? Does the shift to remote services promote rationality and efficiency at the expense of values traditionally at the heart of caregiving? How does the design affect home life and family dynamics? To what extent should technology usage involve attempts to manipulate users into different behaviors? How might the replacement of human contact by new technologies be ameliorated? To what extent is the deployment of technology an end in itself, aimed not toward the improvement of health or well-being, but to create market needs? How do we identify the boundaries between genuine solutions and futility in light of technologies that may shift them?
Elder Care Telehealth
In assisted living facilities or subacute care centers a kiosk can be used to obtain vital signs for large groups of people. Vital sign reports can then be forwarded on a regularly established schedule to physicians and other involved in the patient's care.
Processed data that that has meaning is
Information
Confidentiality and Privacy
Information systems must ensure a high level of data security Patients and families should have the opportunity to revise consent after they fully understand the intrusiveness of home monitoring All involved parties, including the technical staff assistants, must have appropriate training in privacy and confidentiality issues.
Why do we need information systems in health care?
Information systems shape healthcare organizations as they affect communication, speed, and storage and access of information and data.

Data, such as keyboard input data, is known as
alpha data, which includes all text and numeric outputs of digital monitors
Types of data include:
alpha, numeric, audio, image, and video data. Alphanumeric data that nurses encounter might be patients' names and identification numbers. Audio data might be monitor alerts, alarms, or dictated notes.
Consumer Demand for Information
consumer empowerment, trend of people interested in taking control of their health, not satisfied being dependent on a health care provider to supply them with information. 8 in 10 of Americans who are online have searched for health information.
Information is:
data that has been processed and has meaning because it is organized in a way that people find meaningful and useful
Computer based information systems, or CBIS must have two key elements to function well:
decision making/problem-solving ability AND the quality of data/information inputted.
Driving Forces For Telehealth
demographics nursing/health care worker shortages chronic conditions the new, educated consumers excessive costs of health care services that are increasing in need and kind. The American health care system spends $1.4 trillion/year on conventional medical care. Much more should be expected to be spent in the coming decades. A solution is to develop a new clinical model for American healthcare that includes technology. Telehealth technology should be included to fill the gap resulting from an overabundance of patients and a scarcity of health care providers.
