Virtual Primary Care Clinic

Abstract

The problems, or challenges as I prefer to refer to them, can be fairly well encompassed within the concept of complexity. This was an ambitious project from the start, with potential to define an e-health direction for the region. It was perhaps this ambitious nature as well as a myriad of complex technical challenges to overcome that sensitized many personnel and departments. The project required discourse between various departments, each with their own agendas and priorities. It involved coordinating key MAMC Information Management functions, the MHS Information Management function of CHCS, SAIC at multiple levels, and many independent researchers in order to deliver patient care services in new ways, test new technology, and support clinical research. These challenges are in addition to those initially described in the mid-term report of internal project leadership definition.
