Tele-Consulting

This teleconferencing service enables medical professionals on site to link up in a live virtual meeting with suitable remote medical expertise via their Internet-connected computers. The local medical representative uses voice-over-IP to describe the patient’s condition and simultaneously broadcast a live video stream of relevant symptoms.

The remote medical professional listens to and views this information live on their computer and provides immediate treatment advice within the same virtual session, again using the voice-video link. This tool offers customers a real-time collaboration and communication environment designed to meet the scalability, security, integration and globalisation requirements of major remotely located organisations that require medical services to maximize the efficiency of their organisation.

The intuitive, easy to use virtual conferencing application will also enable: 
 
- the sharing of electronic documents and images within the same live session;
- the markup of materials to highlight particular features, for example, an X-ray image;
- participation by others within the same live session;
- a range of tools for the session leader to manage and receive feedback from larger online groups;
- immediate access to a recording of the live session which may be used for reference, clinical governance and training purposes;
- reporting on service usage.
 
Aspen’s Healthcare Solutions staff access the service via their web browser on an Internet-connected and sound equipped computer. Aspen Healthcare Solutions professionals typically use audio headsets to hear and speak during a session, thus ensuring the privacy of the patient and their relevant information. Video conferencing capability can be added by attaching a suitable web cam or other compatible video device to the computer.
