Telehealth,,,answer,,,A broad term having to do with providing health
care services from a distance. A direct service provided from a distance
to clients/patients, consultations to other health care professionals,
education related to health care to clients or other health care
professionals, and coordination of care (helping integrated physical and
behavioral health concerns to improve the outcomes for both, reducing
unnecessary readmissions, reducing medication errors, treatment errors,
wrong diagnosis).
Telemental health,,,answer,,,Providing psychotherapy directly to a
client when the clinician and the client are not in the same location.
Telemental health and mental health services are not separate services. It
is the same service, provided by different means.
Accountable Care Organization (ACO),,,answer,,,A healthcare
organization characterized by a payment and care delivery model that
seeks to tie provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reductions in
the total cost of care for an assigned population of patients. (Wikipedia)
Analog,,,answer,,,A continuous signal where the time varying variable
is represented by another time varying quantity. It differs from a digital
signal where a continuous quantity is represented by a discrete function
that only takes on one of a finite number of values.
Application Service Provider (ASP),,,answer,,,An ASP hosts a variety
of applications on a central server. For a fee, customers can access the
,applications over secure Internet connections or a private network. This
means that they do not need to purchase, install or maintain the software
themselves; instead they rent the applications they need from the ASP.
New releases, such as software upgrades, are generally included in the
price.
Asynchronous,,,answer,,,Term describing store and forward
transmission of medical images and/or data because the data transfer
takes place over a period of time, and typically in separate time frames.
The transmission typically does not take place simultaneously. This is
the opposite of synchronous (see below).
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM),,,answer,,,A telecommunications
standard to support voice, video and data communications. The mode
uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing and encodes data into
small, fixed-sized cells rather than packets or frames.
Authentication,,,answer,,,A method of verifying the identity of a person
sending or receiving information using passwords, keys and other
automated identifiers.
Bandwidth,,,answer,,,A measure of the information carrying capacity of
a communications channel; a practical limit to the size, cost, and
capability of a telemedicine service.
Basic Rate Interface,,,answer,,,An ISDN (see below) configuration that
provides two bearer (B) channels at 64 kilobits/second (kbit/s) each and
one data (D) channel at 16 kbit/s. B channels are for voice data and D
channels for any combination of data, control/signaling, and X.25 packet
networking. B channels can be aggregated to provide128 kbit/s.
Bits Per Second (bps),,,answer,,,Number of electronic data bits
conveyed or processed per unit of time.
,Bluetooth Wireless,,,answer,,,An industrial specification for wireless
personal area networks (PANs) that provides the means to connect and
exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops,
PCs, printers, digital cameras and video game consoles over a secure,
globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The specifications are
developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group
(http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/about-bluetooth-sig.aspx).
Bridge,,,answer,,,Device for linking multiple videoconferencing sites in
a single videoconference session. It is also often referred to as a
multipoint control unit (MCU).
Broadband,,,answer,,,Communications (e.g., broadcast television,
microwave, and satellite) capable of carrying a wide range of
frequencies; refers to transmission of signals in a frequency-modulated
fashion over a segment of the total bandwidth available, thereby
permitting simultaneous transmission of several messages.
Cascading,,,answer,,,Means to accommodate more videoconference
participants than using one MCU by joining another MCU into a session
hosted by the primary MCU.
Certification Commission for Health Information Technology
(CCHIT),,,answer,,,Founded in 2004 with the public mission of
accelerating the adoption of health IT, it certifies electronic health
records (EHRs) using comprehensive, practical definitions of what
capabilities were needed in these systems. (http://www.cchit.org/)
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS),,,answer,,,A federal
agency within the United States Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) that administers the Medicare program and works in
partnership with state governments to administer Medicaid, the State
Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards. (Wikipedia)
, Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU),,,answer,,,A
digital-interface device for connecting Data Terminal Equipment devices
(DTE) (e.g., router) to a digital circuit (e.g., T1 line). CSU connects to
the network and the DSU handles the DTE interface.
Circuit Switched Network,,,answer,,,A method for implementing a
telecommunications network where two nodes have a dedicated
communications channel through the network for communication,
guaranteeing full bandwidth for the session.
Class of Service (CoS),,,answer,,,Used in data and voice protocols to
differentiate payloads in the transmitted packets to help assign priorities
to the data payload.
Clinical Decision Support System (CCDS),,,answer,,,Systems (usually
electronically based and interactive) that provide clinicians, staff,
patients, and other individuals with knowledge and person-specific
information, intelligently filtered and presented at appropriate times, to
enhance health and health care.
(http://healthit.ahrq.gov/images/jun09cdsreview/09_0069_ef.html)
Clinical Information System,,,answer,,,Hospital-based information
system designed to collect and organize data relating exclusively to
information regarding the care of a patient rather than administrative
data. .
Cloud computing,,,answer,,,The use of computing resources (hardware
and software) that are delivered as a service over a network (typically
the Internet). The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as
an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system
diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts remote services with a user's data,
software and computation. (Wikipedia)
CODEC,,,answer,,,Acronym for coder-decoder. This is the
videoconferencing device that converts analog video and audio signals
