Telemedicine needs Odyssey clinical decision support

There are three categories of telemedicine: store-and-forward, remote monitoring and interactive services.

Store-and-forward telemedicine involves acquiring and then transmitting clinical data to a doctor or medical specialist at a convenient time for assessment offline. Remote monitoring enables medical professionals to monitor a patient remotely using various technological devices, primarily used for managing chronic diseases. Interactive telemedicine services provide real-time interactions between patient and provider, to include phone conversations, online communication and home visits. “Clinician-interactive” telemedicine services may be less costly than in-person clinical visits.

Odyssey supports interactive telemedicine: it needs decision support to compensate for the fact that without the patient present, thorough assessments frequently require prompts to ensure nothing is missed pre-diagnosis.
