Randomized Controlled Trial of Telementoring During Resource-Limited Patient Care Simulation Improves Caregiver Performance and Patient Survival.

Objectives: To determine the impact of telementoring on caregiver performance during a high-fidelity medical simulation model (HFMSM) of a critically ill patient in a resource-limited setting.

Design: A two-center, randomized, controlled study using a HFMSM of a patient with community-acquired pneumonia complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Setting: A notional clinic in a remote location staffed by a single clinician and nonmedical assistant.

Optimizing Virtual Health Technologies Through a Performance-based Readiness Model: Lessons From the Field Deployment of National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network.

Introduction: The advancement of the Army's National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network (NETCCN) and planned evolution to an Intelligent Medical System rest on a digital transformation characterized by the application of analytic rigor anchored and machine learning.The goal is an enduring capability for telecritical care in support of the Nation's warfighters and, more broadly, for emergency response, crisis management, and mass casualty situations as the number and intensity of disasters increase nationwide. That said, technology alone is unlikely to solve the most pressing issues in operational medicine and combat casualty care.

The trauma continuum-of-care quality forum integration committee system-wide video teleconference.

The lessons learned in the care of combat casualties throughout time have been vitally important to the improvement of military medicine. However, often the lessons learned were essentially personal, because the ability to transmit those lessons to other medical personnel was not systematized and organized. In past wars, the transmission of those lessons to other care providers was difficult and often long after the fact.

Meeting medical challenges in a changing world: the international program of the U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC).

The U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) manages more than 200 research projects in advanced medical technologies, with concentration in disciplines such as simulation, distance learning, information and communications, or robotics to name a few.

The Aerochir: the first "flying hospital".

The concept of providing light and far-forward mobile surgical support teams to care for battle casualties is being increasingly adopted by most NATO nations as a result of military and political-economic considerations. Similar considerations led to the design of a mobile surgical hospital capable of flying a surgical team and all its equipment to a location of need as early as 1919. Unlike many of the early attempts to fuse medicine and aviation, the Nemirovsky-Tilmant Aerochir was not a dead-end.
