R4 ACERT™ Telemedicine Solutions

"R4 ACERT is one of the only fully integrated ultra-sound reporting, image management and telemedicine system
operating on the full Microsoft SQL platform."

Telemedicine generally refers to the use of communications and information technologies to deliver clinical care. It is a rapidly developing application of clinical medicine where medical information is transferred via telephone, internet or other networks for the purpose of consulting, and sometimes remote medical procedures or examinations. Telemedicine is also useful as a communication tool between general practitioner and a specialist available at another location. It may be as simple as two health professionals discussing a case over the telephone, or as complex as using satellite technology and video-conferencing equipment to conduct a real-time consultation between medical specialists in different locations.

R4 ACERT™ Telemedicine for Perinatal Care enables practices to transmit live video of people and ultrasound machine feed from a remote site in real-time. Using either a PC-based or peripheral communication device, diagnostic quality telemedicine solutions eliminate location boundaries that may prevent practices from offering a higher level of perinatal care.

Features and Benefits

Enhance Diagnostic Process
Remote offices without a full-time perinatologist use our telemedicine solution to enhance their diagnostic process. Instead of delaying diagnosis until post-exam when images are typically transmitted for review, consulting physicians can direct the sonographer during the exam to better identify potential anomalies.

Overcome Resource Limitations
The transmittal of live video increases practice competency by eliminating the need for an in-house specialist. R4 ACERTTM Telemedicine gives every practice access to medical expertise when it is needed most - during the patient exam.

Improve Practice Efficiency
R4 ACERTTM Telemedicine drastically improves practice efficiency by enabling live remote consultation from the convenience of a perinatologist’s office instead of traveling to on-site consultations. Transmitted images meet industry requirements for image diagnostic quality and live ultrasound video uses brilliant color Doppler, so physicians can make accurate findings during the exam.

Increase Patient Satisfaction
Live ultrasound video transmittal to an off-site perinatologist ensures patients they are getting all necessary medical attention. Any concerns that arise during the exam can be addressed immediately by a qualified professional. Video conferencing between patient and perinatologist assures patients they are receiving the same face-to-face quality interaction as if they were in the same office.
