Abstract

This paper investigates the design and implementation of a multimedia telemedicine application being undertaken by the Imaging Science and Information Systems (ISIS) Center ofthe Department of Radiology and the Division ofNephrology of the Department of Medicine at the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). The Renal Dialysis Patient Monitoring (RDPM) network links GUMC, a remote outpatient dialysis clinic, and a nephrologist's home. The primary functions of the network are to provide telemedicine services to renal dialysis patients, to create, manage, transfer and use electronic health data, and to provide decision support and information services for physicians, nurses and health care workers. The technical parameters for designing and implementing such a network are discussed.
