Industry Insider: High-definition allows hospitals to share info for mutual benefit

woensdag 16 mei 2007

Using technology developed by Polycom, a California company, the New Jersey hospital is able to send high-definition images of everything from pathology slides to imaging studies to colleagues at St. Jude.

"The level of detail is so accurate now that it lends itself to really making a pinpoint diagnosis," said Michael LaMacchia, chairman of pediatrics at St. Joseph's. "It increases the breadth and depth of expertise."

St. Joseph's, which works with the group Medical Missions for Children, is especially interested in using its new relationship with St. Jude to help enroll more New Jersey children with cancer into clinical trials.

"We are establishing a relationship where we can discuss cases and develop protocols to treat patients in New Jersey with the same medicine we are using here at St. Jude," said Raul Ribeiro, director of international outreach programs at the Memphis hospital.

Already, the new collaboration is producing results. LaMacchia cited the case of a patient that had been treated for leukemia years ago. The patient recently relapsed, with the cancer attacking his kidney -- a "very rare occurrence," LaMacchia said.

"We got the doctors at St. Jude to help guide us in the further management of the patient. Our doctors were on the right track and they just added to our expertise," he said.

St. Jude doctors also offered up a case for doctors here in New Jersey to review, that of a 5-year-old leukemia patient whose cancer had infiltrated his liver.

"They showed us the patient, the pathology specimens and images and we collaborated about what we thought the treatment options should be," he said.

The technology is so advanced, Polycom officials say it even permits surgeons to display operating room procedures for colleagues in other states, or even countries.

Because the technology uses a faster, non-commercial Internet system known as Internet2 -- for research-related purposes only -- doctors are able to transmit three-dimensional images a lot faster.
