Introduction:
Researchers in the domain of telemedicine throughout the world tend to search multiple bibliographic databases to retrieve the highest possible number of publications when conducting review projects. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) are three popular databases in the discipline of biomedicine that are used for conducting reviews. Access to the MEDLINE database is free and easy, whereas EMBASE and CINAHL are not free and sometimes not easy to access for researchers in small research centers.

The costs of pediatric telemedicine services remain underreported and understudied; however, there is evidence that telepediatric services can be cost competitive with traditional ones. For 15 years, the University of Kansas Center for Telemedicine and Telehealth has been providing telemental health outreach from the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). One service site is located in Crawford County, Kansas, which provides telepsychiatry services to children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the costs of operating the Crawford County site relative to accessing services at KUMC, the likely alternative service location. The cost of travel time to parents who accompanied a dependent to either location also was estimated. Patients and parents were examined over a 6-month period in 2006.

“On October 11, 2010 Baltimore Sun reporter Meredith Cohn reported that some US healthcare providers are experimenting with trying to reach patients through social media and reaping big rewards. Providers are not just using twitter and facebook but trying new social media tools like Groupon, Foresquare, Scoutmob and LivingSocial that all blend social media with market forces to bring customers value and create new revenue for entrepreneurs, busnises owners and now healthcare providers.

“The question of the day is electronic medical records: How do we computerize, standardize, store, secure, exchange our corpus info with a reasonable assurance of privacy?
My answer: Give the job to Google. And thus follows the politely alarmed reaction…and the objections.

“After obligating $2 billion over 13 years to acquire an EHR system, so far, DOD has delivered capabilities for outpatient and dental care documentation but scaled back on other capabilities. In addition, users continue to experience significant problems such as speed, usability, and availability in deployed portions of the system. DOD plans to acquire a new EHR system and is working to have the “Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application” (AHLTA) system operate as a bridge to the new EHR system.

Doctors at the South Bend, Ind., practice no longer have to dictate reports on lab and other medical tests for the hundreds of patients who are tested at outside facilities each week and whose results were previously sent back on paper.
