Worldwide Telemedicine System for Second Opinions

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 17 Mar 2003
A new telemedicine system called WorldCare Limited (Cambridge, MA, USA) facilitates international access to high-quality US healthcare through the delivery of highly specialized and personalized electronic second medical opinions and the provision of US treatment plans for serious illness.

Consultation and treatment will be offered by the WorldCare Consortium: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Duke University Health System, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. More...
Special programs sponsored by life and health insurance carriers throughout the world offer WorldCare's second medical opinion services and insurance plans. WorldCare maintains operations in Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

Wellogic Consult (also in Cambridge) will enable clinical users in referring locations to assemble a complete electronic patient record and securely transmit the record to a reviewing hospital. Advanced image compression combined with advanced Web services technology and user interface design will be used to transmit all components of the patient record--from text and scanned documents to DICOM images and digitized radiology films--over any connection, even dial-up.

"We looked carefully at the market and found that Wellogic was the clear leader with a complete offering for telemedicine,” said Nasser Menhall, CEO of WorldCare Limited. "With the ever changing healthcare landscape, from communications standards in medicine to US legislation, we needed a company that was ahead of the curve on all counts. Upon conducting due diligence, we found Wellogic to be that company.”
