Abstract:
Disclosed herein are unique systems and methods for remotely located physician specialists to diagnose and treat patients in a non-acute care facility having symptoms typically indicating a need for transfer to an acute care facility. The disclosed principles minimize the transfer of patients from a non-acute care facility to an acute care facility when not needed. The disclosed principles provide for the use of telemedicine units by geographically remote physician specialists to diagnose and treat patients in a non-acute care facility. If the physician specialist determines via the telemedicine unit that transfer of the patient to higher level of facility is needed, then the patient is transferred. If the physician specialist determines that the patient's new, elevated condition may be treated in the current, lower level facility, the physician specialist can prescribe a treatment for the current facility's staff to implement, even under the supervision of the physician specialist if it is needed. This unique approach is possible by providing an advanced telemedicine unit for use by the physician specialist that is geographically remote from the patient and his current lower level of care facility. Accordingly, the disclosed telemedicine program uses remote physicians having a higher level of skill or specialty to diagnose and treat patients currently located in a lower level healthcare facility than that type of specialty physician is typically found.

Claim (Index 22):
A telemedicine unit in accordance with  claim 21 , wherein the equipment comprises tactile-based equipment selected from the group consisting of:\n a stethoscope, an otoscope, an ophthalmoscope, and telemetry gloves configured to mimic tactile sensations experienced from a wearer touching the patient to the remote physician.
