BAMC-DACH Pediatric Sub-Specialty Telemedicine Healthcare Program

Abstract

Tricare Region 6 Preexisting Telemedicine Model: Tricare Region 6 solution to telemedicine was in place based on an adult telemedicine software model, Apollo/CNSI (dermatology; neurology) installed at a host of remote bases (Sheppard AFB; Dyess AFB; Corpus Christi NAS; Cannon, AFB; Laughlin, AFB). The Tricare lead agent paid for two additional units in San Antonio (agreement to examine regionwide pediatric patients). Pediatric inpatient and outpatient unique telemedicine solutions were not addressed by the existing software. Apollo/CNSI has continued to modify and refine the software to make it functional and subsequently more user friendly with a minimum instruction to pediatric subspecialists. The implementation of the software was delayed by building line and land line problems. In combination it took 6 months to make the system fully functional. The refinement of the software is an ongoing task.
