Tele Health services is already working successfully through remote connection, but it needs a server where it can store even large database, and it needs a security system also. Points mentioned below will be covered in this assignment. (1) Functional Requirements Investigate mobile & cloud based solution for Tele Health, and investigate a security mechanism, which includes, data security, data ownership, and level of access. (2) Non functional requirements Investigate FURPS for the cloud & mobile based solution Write brief description of the Pros and Cons to approaching the project using the ‘Predictive’ SDLC, then the Pros and Cons to approach the project as ‘Adaptive’ SDLC. Then recommend either Predictive or Adaptive to the SDLC for the project and briefly describe why.

Telehealth is the monitoring via remote exchange of physiological data between a patient at home and health care professionals at hospitals or clinics to assist with diagnosis and treatment. As our society ages and health care costs increase, government and private insurance payers are seeking technological interventions. Technological solutions may provide high quality healthcare services at a distance, utilize professional resources more effectively, and enable elderly and ill patients to remain in their own homes. Patients may experience decreased hospitalization and urgent care settings, and out of home care may not be required as the patient is monitored at home. However, no study has been able to prove telehealth benefits conclusively. This change in health care delivery presents new ethical concerns, and new relationship boundaries between health care professionals, patients, and family members. This paper will discuss telehealth benefits in specific patient populations, costs benefits of using telehealth, and concerns of using telehealth.

Telenursing is the application of information and telecommunications technology to offer the nursing or healthcare services to the patients. The most advanced field of telehealth is in household telenursing healthcare. Telenursing devices like computers, telephones and videophones enable nurses to increase successfully the patient numbers seen daily while reducing the entire workload (Arnaert & Delesie, 2001). Nurses are capable of doing this without having to leave the doctor’s office or hospital hence saving a considerable amount of
Pacemakers are an electrical pulse regulatory mechanism, that helps create well balanced heart beats in patients in need. Pacemaker monitoring in the past has been limited to Physician visits, and emergent visit to the hospitals. Proper pacemaker monitoring with real-time implications leaves new insight and advancement within the medical field; while delivering real-time possible life saving patient information to appropriate personnel.
Telemedicine is a new comer to the field of medicine and it is the treatment of patients by means of telecommunications technology. Telemedicine is carried out in a variety of ways whether it is by smart phone, wireless tools or other forms of telecommunications. Examples of telemedicine include: 1) transmission of medical images 2) care services at the home of the patient 3) Diagnosis at distance 4) education and training of patients. The diversity of practices in what is known as telemedicine raises many questions and one of those questions, which is extremely important, relate to the safety of the practice and the risks involved.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act has provided PMH a great opportunity. The HITECH Act has provided funding for hospitals who are interested in implementing telehealth technology, that will allow patients and providers to connect with each other by using state of the art technology. Telehealth offer preventative and specialized patient care to many of the nation’s 62 million rural residents where hospitals are often lacking (2017). This type of technology is important for hospitals such as PMH, because the rising healthcare costs will make personal access to health care even more difficult. Telehealth technology will allow PMH to connect with other providers remotely and relieve some of the workload
Improving health is in the best interest of everyone, including non-health professionals. Health managers need to be constantly looking for ways to improve access to health care, the quality of the care, and cost containment. Often, the biggest barriers to accessing healthcare are cost and location. Lower income individuals just do not have the resources to have optimal healthcare, or cannot take the time away from employment to deal with health issues. One potential solution to help with these problems could be “telehealth.”
Great discussion post this week. For my research this week I was able to learn some interesting as regards to Telehealth. During my research on Telehealth I learned that it’s another way to provide services that can make it more resourceful to manage ongoing care. According to Silva et al. (2014) Telehealth increases access to healthcare so that: remote patients can have easier access to clinical services, remote hospitals can provide emergency and intensive care services, patients diagnosed and treated earlier often have improved outcomes and less costly treatments, patients experience reduced complications, reduced hospital stays and substantially reduced mortality rates. I noticed that you mentioned that the participants
Telemedicine can include using the diagnostic and imaging equipment to get data from patients. The data can be recorded by the computer software and hardware, and then sent the data from on location to another one thought satellites or communication lines. After the data arrived on the computer of a doctor or expert, he can analyze the data to give some result and sent it back. Indeed, a telemedicine system can be very simple; it will only need a computer to connect to a big medical database which includes Clinical application, medical information management, services and different education. And it also needs some basic equipment which can catch, store transmit, display and process data, picture and sound (Weldon 1997).
Information technology has made important achievements to our world, namely in the medical industry. With the increased use of electronic medical records (EMR), and mobile technologies like tablets and smart phones, making health information available electronically when and where it is needed. physicians and patients are both seeing the benefits that these new medical technologies are bringing. Health information technology provides healthcare providers by accurate and complete information about a patient 's health, which enable the providers to give the best possible care. It provides information to help diagnose health problems sooner, and reduce medical errors. Finally, and not last, HIT provides the secure way to share information with

With the help of telehealth and telenursing, overall healthcare costs can be reduced, especially for those patients
