Telemedicine Evaluation of Spinal Deformity

Abstract

The original proposal hypothesized that through the use of telemedicine, spine specialists would be able to diagnose and treat patients in remote locations. The initial proposal requested $350,000 to accomplish stated objectives. Awarded less than half of our original request, the project was revised to reflect the awarded amount. An exempt protocol "A retrospective and controlled study to evaluate the ability of scoliosis/spine specialists to arrive at a treatment decision by telemedicine" was submitted to the WRAMC Department of Clinical Investigation and sent to Louise Pascal, Human Subjects Protection Specialist (AMDEX Corporation), U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, Office for Regulatory Compliance and Quality at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
