Current Projects Include
In addition to our research, we are also working on the following projects
and technologies:
Virtual Private Electronic Records Search (ViPER) Transfer Network - We are developing a
security engine for HIPAA compliant search and transfer of electronic medical
records (Screenshot). Included are data conversion utilities, validation
systems and audit features to allow users carefully controlled,
monitored access to secure member networks and Regional Health
Information Organizations (RHIOs). The system will allow the secure
exchange and transfer of patient data between disparate health
care
entities and data platforms by offering each provider a data portal
and 3rd party management of searches and all transaction. As a
service acting as a 3rd party transfer agent, RTC will ask each
pre-validated party (manually or electronically) two basic questions
A) What records do you have and under which conditions are you
willing to share them, or 2) What records do you seek and what
authority do you have to receive them. RTC's service will
become a record locator service and a clearing house for both
senders and receivers. RTC has a development and application use
license to all non-profit applications of this patent pending
technology. Additionally, RTC has the right to sublicense the
technology and the applications to other non-profits or
organizations who work to support constituents similar to our own.
Indian Needs Assessment - We are meeting with tribal
representatives in several
Southeastern
states to assess and prioritize needs and logistical
issues where
telemedicine and telehealth
could provide the most impact. Grant
writing partnerships and
technology sharing with multiple
entities is likely.
Rural Community Needs Assessment - We are meeting with county
and government health
officials to identify key areas of weakness in existing services in
which Telemedicine and
Telehealth could be beneficial in both expanding coverage areas and
cost savings in
existing
areas. Reductions of travel time and expenses is the
primary factor under
consideration.
Remote monitoring of high risk medical patients and
social services
applications are also being
considered.
Indigent Care Needs Assessment - We are currently considering
a telemedicine
installation
at a senior care, HUD apartment building. Several
different locations are being
reviewed.
