2 The aim of the review to present selected Polish Telemedicine Society activities represented by society members across the country. 2

3 South Eastern Initiatives and Implementations Great advancement is noted in many non central and non academic hospitals. Videoconferencing progress is observed in hospitals. An excellent example is the Holycross Cancer Centre Hospital in Kielce that turned into new way of telemedicine due to System X installation in September The system is designed to didactic purposes and electronic surgical procedures archiving and videoconferencing as well. That prompts regional telemedicine in oncology. Successful IT medical system implementation at the Holycross Cancer Centre is the best example of Telemedicine and ehealth leadership in Holycross Region that follows e Health lhstrategy for Poland

5 Lower Silesia ehealth Initiative Lower Silesia was the first region of Poland that has successfully completed EU sponsored ehealth initiative connecting 11 public and private diagnostic imaging gcenters with a leading hospital (Voivodship Specialistic Hospital in Wroclaw) as a provider of teleradiology services. The system utilizes AGFA Healthcare PACS and RIS/Teleradiology dil by Alteris. The project serves approximately 10,000 exams a year. 5

6 Teleradiology Southern Poland Telemedicine and ehealth initiatives Despite legal problems and unclarity, huge and increasing market demand for teleradiology services resulted in impressing growth of teleradiology l network in Poland. 6

7 Teleradiology network The institutional tut member of Polish os Telemedicine ee edc e Society Voxel is a private held company, focused on teleradiology in both internal and external models. Voxel services currently support teleradiology dil development and practice. Almost 30,000 imaging exams from 30 submitters a year reported via teleradiology show significant input. The positive response to remote services warrants irreversibility of teleradiology development in Poland. 7

8 North West Poland enters the Game In Westpomorian Region of Poland in 2009 the telemedicine i program Telenet has started in cooperation with German regions of Brandenburg and Meklemburg. The Telenet is designed to link 35 medical institutes and 11 hospitals in Poland and 21 in Germany (Greifswald University Hospital, Szczecin University Hospital and regional hospitals in Gryfice, Szczecin, Gorzów, and Kołobrzeg). The aim of cooperation is an improvement of medical care in wide areas diagnosis, treatment and prophylactic measures in oncology, cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery and polytrauma. Project supports also organizing International Scientific Symposia with telemedicine included into scientific program. 8

9 Postural telediagnostics Postural telediagnostics ed clinically ca yutilized by TeleOrto has turned into automatization development phase to improve diagnostic effectiveness. Telediagnostic screening system of postural deformities based on structural t light optical 3D shape measurement and automated data analysis project is focused on clinical implementation of telemedical system along with a method for three dimensional measurement of human body surface. 9

11 International Online service for orthopaedic surgeons Web based Online service Fracture healing monitoring (Orthopaedic Intelligence**) has been effectively launched and turned into practice for fracture union assessment, analysis and monitoring. Described system was developed and implemented as Web application that utilizes single server and Web Browser for Internet communication. This project was nominated to AWARDS

13 Examples of International cooperation Members of Polish Telemedicine Society are involved in European project CLEAR Clinical Leading Environment for the Assessment and Validation of Rehabilitation Protocols in Home Care that is setting up an innovative e Health service based on the development of protocols for rehabilitation and chronic disease management therapies provided under control of medical staff, coordinated by Italian company Signo Motus. 13

14 Examples of International cooperation The clinical team in Poland is implementing telerehabilitation protocols for musculoskeletal chronic disorders based on individually tailored clinical exercises and remote patient supervision and self care management. Clinical protocols are elaborated together with well known Clinical centers across the Europe [Stichting Revalidatiecentrum Het Roessingh, (Netherlands), Fundació Privada Institut de Neurorehabilitació Guttmann (Spain), Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale 11 Empoli (Italy) and Center of Excellence TeleOrto, Medical University of Warsaw (Poland)]. 14

15 Conclusions The new generation of telemedicine enthusiasts is emerging and supports the society. New entry telenursing, teleeducation. Some areas of the telemedicine were not yet explored in Poland. Presented examples show systematic and continuous of development of Polish Telemedicine Society that may accentuate t some specific features of the own way of telemedicine and ehealth. The development of the society is related to the activity of individual members 15
