GlobalMed’s www.globalmed.com eNcounter™, a web-based telemedicine solution has the ability to guide a clinician through the entire remote patient session. “While doctors can see the value in telemedicine, they need an easy to use platform that records the data and images they collect to go into a patient’s EMR,” said Michael Harris, GlobalMed Chief Technology Officer.
After selecting a patient, a provider can capture vital signs, diagnostic data and images, conduct a real-time remote visit, or consult with a specialist, store-and-forward secure data, and then write reports. This is all accomplished within one application.
This telemedicine solution enables providers to have a tool that is can extend their reach of care by just using a single sign-on. More than 40 medical devices are integrated into the platform including exam cameras, stethoscopes, vital signs monitors, otoscopes, EGGs, ultrasound probes as well as an ophthalmoscope, dental camera, colposcopes, and x-ray.
eNcounter supports imaging studies from DICOM modalities including CT Scans, MRIs, x-rays and ultrasounds. “DICAM images are the great equalizer of HIEs since they are the universal standard for EMRs”, reports Joel E. Barthelemy, Founder and CEO of GlobalMed. ”The images and data collected can be searched at a later date for patient management purposes.”
