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.
