The Arizona Telemedicine Program established a private asynchronous transfer mode network to improve healthcare access for rural populations. This initiative focused on cost-effective telemedicine services and professional education.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Telecommunications Engineering

Background:

  • The Arizona Telemedicine Program was established in 1996 to address healthcare disparities in rural areas.
  • Key objectives included enhancing access to specialty care and health professional education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the experiences and methods involved in establishing a private asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network.
  • To detail the implementation of a telecommunication infrastructure for telemedicine services.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a private asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network by program personnel.
  • Utilizing both store-and-forward and real-time interactive telemedicine applications.
  • Network implementation occurred between June and December 1997 after extensive planning and vendor evaluation.
