Telemedicine & Electronic Health Record Application
Challenge
Solution
Benefit
• Need for healthcare providers to access patient information in a matter of minutes for life-saving decisions.
• Challenge of sharing real-time information across disparate and geographically dislocated systems and personnel.
• Administrative difficulty of organizing massive expanding volume of data over a patient’s lifetime.
• Increases real-time access and retrieval of medical images and patient information for healthcare providers.
• Enables collaboration, sharing of medical expertise, and best practices among healthcare providers, ultimately improving patient care
• Prevents medical errors, which can save lives.
• Improves efficiency of data administration, maintenance and conversion.
• On-Demand and secure access to information by healthcare providers from anywhere at any time.
• A prototype application of Telemedicine is now under development using the IBM multimodal voice platform, FIU Communication Virtual Machine, and Teges iRounds electronic medical record system.

Enhancing Telemedicine/Electronic Health Record Application with Grid
After Grid
“Virtualized” infrastructure:• Creates a virtual application infrastructure for
delivering real-time collaboration and healthcare information in a reliable and secure environment.
• Leverages combination of unique technologies through a university-industry-hospital collaboration.
• Enables expertise required to develop a functional solution for healthcare and patients.
Before Grid
LA Grid project leverages electronic health record with some of the most
advanced telemedicine applications provided by FIU and IBM
Grid abstracts applications infrastructure and enables new paradigms for
management resulting in increased efficiency, responsiveness, variability and speed
“Heterogeneous” infrastructure:• Heterogeneous medical systems and
applications inhibit patient medical record to be easily shared among caregivers and experts.
• Real-time communication and delivery of information is not possible without a reliable underlying infrastructure.
• Massive expanding volume of patient life-time medical history cannot be readily accessible.

Applications of CVM
CVM can be used in areas such as • Healthcare• Disaster Management • Business Conferencing • Scientific Collaboration• Distance Learning• Battlefield Coordination
Key Capabilities of CVM• CVM can be adapted to the communication needs of different application
domains.• New communication templates can be developed in seconds/minutes/hours
rather than days/months/years.

Current State of CVM
A Web-based prototype following the CVM architecture has been developed.
This prototype has been tested with three different realistic scenarios in Healthcare.
Many issues regarding advanced features of CVM are still under discussion and development.
