Networking Health: Prescriptions for the Internet
Drawing on a series of site visits, this report examines ways in which the Internet can be used to support applications in clinical care, consumer health, public health, health care finance and administration, professional education, and biomedical research. |
Project Scope This project will define technical capabilities that the Internet must provide in order to support a variety of medical applications. It will identify likely health care applications of the Internet; examine their demands for such characteristics as bandwidth, quality of service, security, and access; and recommend an appropriate strategy for implementing these capabilities in future instantiations of the Internet. An attempt will be made to distinguish those capabilities that are unique to health care applications from those more generally demanded of the Internet. Committee Members
