Abstract
Assessment is an important factor for improvement on the part of the users and stakeholders of telemedicine programs. It provides feedback from which those involved can learn and make the necessary changes to enhance the operating environment. This presentation will discuss the following aspects of assessment with regard to telemedicine:
1) Computing methodology and software systems, including the valuation of the different technologies used today: pro and con, and the issues and problems that presently exist and how to improve upon them and
(2) Ethics, including the assessment of clinical practices, e.g. the delay in treatment, compromised databases, doctor-patient relationship, equity of access, and threats to privacy and
(3) Training of providers, including the design of courses.
With regard to the last subtopic, we will provide a somewhat innovative approach to assessment that will enhance the preparation of telemedicine providers for future success as creative and analytic providers of the future. The presentation will address the classification and goals of standard approaches to assessment, and a model of how to accomplish the aforementioned inventive approach, and its relation to mathematical concepts.
