Telehealth and "Virtual Rounds" featured in radio news story
January 2, 2003 - 9:22am | by Anonymous
Listening to CBC radio's World Report this morning, I picked up a story about how doctors across the country are now getting together to discuss patients and share their thoughts concerning treatments.
"Hospital rounds are going hi-tech. For the first time, doctors in different parts of Canada are using conference calls and the internet to treat patients through "virtual rounds". Brooks DeCillia reports." (From the last story on their summary sheet)
You can listen to the entire short story that includes some actual taped discussions between doctors in RealOne Audio by clicking here and scrolling to the last story (at 10:25 of the 12:30 report).
