Project
Purpose: The Telehealth Deployment Research
Testbed (TDRT) program will continue to provide the
mechanisms to impartially evaluate the effectiveness
and practical utility of telehealth technologies,
providing both laboratory and “real-world”
evaluations. The TDRT program disseminates results
to the user community, providing the guidelines and
methods to simplify telehealth technology deployment
and effective use. The focus is on the needs of rural
and minority communities and the healthcare organizations
that serve those communities in the areas of home
health and telehealth distance learning.
Outcomes
Expected: Guidelines for effective use of
telehealth technology for rural and underserved communities
and the healthcare organizations that serve them.
These guidelines will be published on the web. The
success of these guidelines will be measured by the
number of “hits” the web-site is given.
Web-
based mechanisms will be provided on the web-site
to encourage questions, comments, and any other feedback.
This input will also be examined.
Service Area: US rural and underserved communities
and healthcare organizations that serve them.
Services Provided: Evaluation of the effectiveness
and practical utility of telehealth technologies,
providing both laboratory and “real-world”
settings for the evaluations.
Equipment: Videoconference equipment
from Sony, Tandberg, and Polycom. Home telehealth
equipment as appropriate.
