Hi Group,

Thinking about Marvin's comment on whether or not this really meets the criteria for HC IT. I think it does, but isn't just one type. Agree we should get the professors approval as we go on. I think because it uses PAC's-type system for radiology, real-time telemetry and vital signs transmission, and two-way communication between the site where the ICU staff are monitoring and site where actual patients are it is considered novel IT. I think we should focus on the gains of having off-site monitoring of patients to save costs and allow one team to monitor patients at multiple sites simultaneously.
