Typically utilized in the intensive care units and other specialty
areas such as the operating and recovery rooms.
◉ Telehealth
Answer: Professional services given to a patient through an
interactive telecommunications system by a practitioner at a
distant site.
◉ telesurgery
Answer: use of robotics to perform surgery
◉ smart card

computer chip embedded in it. Enable portable storage of health
and insurance information
◉ health Information Technology
,Answer: hardware, software, integrated technologies or related
licenses, intellectual property, upgrades, or packaged solutions
sold as services that are designed for or support the use by
healthcare entities or patients for the electronic creation,
maintenance, access, or exchange of health information
◉ Longitudinal health record
Answer: permanent record of significant information listed in
chronological order and maintained across time, ideally from
