Telehealth - ANSWER-A broad term having to do with providing health care
services from a distance. A direct service provided from a distance to
clients/patients, consultations to other health care professionals, education related
to health care to clients or other health care professionals, and coordination of care
(helping integrated physical and behavioral health concerns to improve the
outcomes for both, reducing unnecessary readmissions, reducing medication
errors, treatment errors, wrong diagnosis).
Question: Telemental health - ANSWER-Providing psychotherapy directly to a
client when the clinician and the client are not in the same location. Telemental
health and mental health services are not separate services. It is the same service,
provided by different means.
Question: Accountable Care Organization (ACO) - ANSWER-A healthcare
organization characterized by a payment and care delivery model that seeks to tie
provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reductions in the total cost of care
for an assigned population of patients. (Wikipedia)
Question: Analog - ANSWER-A continuous signal where the time varying variable
is represented by another time varying quantity. It differs from a digital signal
,where a continuous quantity is represented by a discrete function that only takes
on one of a finite number of values.
Question: Application Service Provider (ASP) - ANSWER-An ASP hosts a variety
of applications on a central server. For a fee, customers can access the applications
over secure Internet connections or a private network. This means that they do not
need to purchase, install or maintain the software themselves; instead they rent the
applications they need from the ASP. New releases, such as software upgrades, are
generally included in the price.
Question: Asynchronous - ANSWER-Term describing store and forward
transmission of medical images and/or data because the data transfer takes place
over a period of time, and typically in separate time frames. The transmission
typically does not take place simultaneously. This is the opposite of synchronous
(see below).
Question: Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) - ANSWER-A
telecommunications standard to support voice, video and data communications.
The mode uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing and encodes data into
small, fixed-sized cells rather than packets or frames.
Question: Authentication - ANSWER-A method of verifying the identity of a
person sending or receiving information using passwords, keys and other
automated identifiers.
,Question: Bandwidth - ANSWER-A measure of the information carrying capacity
of a communications channel; a practical limit to the size, cost, and capability of a
telemedicine service.
Question: Basic Rate Interface - ANSWER-An ISDN (see below) configuration
that provides two bearer (B) channels at 64 kilobits/second (kbit/s) each and one
data (D) channel at 16 kbit/s. B channels are for voice data and D channels for any
combination of data, control/signaling, and X.25 packet networking. B channels
can be aggregated to provide128 kbit/s.
Question: Bits Per Second (bps) - ANSWER-Number of electronic data bits
conveyed or processed per unit of time.
Question: Bluetooth Wireless - ANSWER-An industrial specification for wireless
personal area networks (PANs) that provides the means to connect and exchange
information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital
cameras and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range
radio frequency. The specifications are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth
Special Interest Group (http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/about-bluetooth-
sig.aspx).
Question: Bridge - ANSWER-Device for linking multiple videoconferencing sites
in a single videoconference session. It is also often referred to as a multipoint
control unit (MCU).
, Question: Broadband - ANSWER-Communications (e.g., broadcast television,
microwave, and satellite) capable of carrying a wide range of frequencies; refers to
transmission of signals in a frequency-modulated fashion over a segment of the
total bandwidth available, thereby permitting simultaneous transmission of several
messages.
Question: Cascading - ANSWER-Means to accommodate more videoconference
participants than using one MCU by joining another MCU into a session hosted by
the primary MCU.
Question: Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT)
- ANSWER-Founded in 2004 with the public mission of accelerating the adoption
of health IT, it certifies electronic health records (EHRs) using comprehensive,
practical definitions of what capabilities were needed in these systems.
(http://www.cchit.org/)
Question: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) - ANSWER-A federal
agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services
(DHHS) that administers the Medicare program and works in partnership with
state governments to administer Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) standards. (Wikipedia)
Question: Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (CSU/DSU) - ANSWER-A
digital-interface device for connecting Data Terminal Equipment devices (DTE)
