Telemedicine: From Anywhere in the World
Telemedicine technology and its mobility is already
impacting the future of healthcare. Telemedicine
in our mobile environment may be the very best application
of the technology because the "facility"
was designed around the technology and not as an
afterthought or an appendage to an existing concept.
Our units are capable of providing telemedicine
support for consultations, radiology and pathology
through the use of satellite, cellular or regular
telephone service (POTS) connected to one communications
system.
Workstations can employ high resolution monitors
and are fiber-optic/copper-cable wired for a full
local area network (LAN) connecting to a wide area
network (WAN) that is neither vendor nor protocol
specific or limited to system drivers. The telemedicine
and communications capabilities are also adaptable
to future systems alleviating issues of component
incompatibility and obsolescence, and allowing for
video teleconferencing or other input/output device
plug-ins for those desiring to install their own
electronic devices.
A Single Source for all Related Data
Physicians operating in our mobile facilities can
document every patient experience from the first
EKG, BP, and O2 during the pre-op experience to
anesthesia, environmental, and postoperative notes
collection -- storing all information in the patient's
electronic single-source permanent record. This
combined data will track patient activity and allow
for better outcome studies, utilization reviews,
and cost/benefit evaluations.
MMIC has developed a sophisticated communications
system that is unique for a fixed site…let
alone for a mobile environment!

HOSPITAL
RENOVATIONS
|
| |
The
disruption of surgical procedures affects a hospital’s
market share. Use of MMIC’s Mobile Surgery Units™
preserves market share and revenue.
|
“It is kind of interesting for us, because
we can do a side by side comparison. The [mobile
unit] features are newer…equipment is very
high tech. I am very pleased to be operating in
this unit while we wait for our [surgery center]
to undergo renovations…it is a vast improvement
…really wonderful.” |
-
Dr. F. S. Cramer, General Surgeon, Sabine Medical
Center, Many, Louisiana |
Value Proposition
Hospitals employing MMIC units operate as usual, with
no disruption to patient flow or volume, so they maintain
a constant, often increased, revenue stream. Further,
the MSU™ is reported by its users to be more efficient
therefore more cost-effective while contractors work and
physicians are operating in the MSU™. Often, there
is a complete offset of fees or a construction cost savings
equal to the cost of leasing the unit during renovation
periods. |
PHYSICIAN
& HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS
|
| |
In
the United States, a primary application for our mobile
facilities are private physicians or healthcare organizations
establishing outreach programs that do not necessarily
have the patient volume to justify a fixed site facility.
By using mobile units, a group of physicians can provide
sophisticated high-tech outpatient services in a very
efficient manner, and refer the more complicated cases
back to the tertiary care facility; a cost-savings approach
to traditional healthcare delivery.
Value Proposition
Fixed site facilities are often underutilized but mobile
facilities may be shared among various locales to maximize
utilization. This result is similar to current practices
with mobile MRI and other mobile healthcare delivery units.
Additionally, ambulatory surgery centers offer an inherently
lower cost environment than conventional operating rooms
that have built-in overhead, including travel expenses
for patients to reach a centralized location, as opposed
to using our mobile facilities to travel to the outlying
sites on a regularly scheduled basis. |
CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION HEALTHCARE DELIVERY
|
| |
There
are some very specific issues that correctional facilities
must address in providing quality healthcare to inmate
populations. Transportation and security costs are of
profound concern when the institution is transporting
patients to receive the care at off-site facilities. However,
when care is delivered on-site to the patients in our
mobile units, security is served more efficiently and
the cost of transportation and exorbitant hospital usage
fees are significantly reduced.
In response to use of a Mobile Surgery Unit™ at
North Florida Reception Center in Lake Butler, Florida
“...we have performed over 300 surgeries and have
not yet maximized the potential…initially starting
out with simple, very safe surgeries…averaging a
cost avoidance of approximately $702 per surgery. However,
as we increase the complexity of surgeries to things such
as arthroscopies our average cost avoidance has increased
to... approximately $1,600 per surgery.” John Burke,
Chief of Health Services Administration, Florida Department
of Corrections
Value Proposition
Currently MMIC is operating an on-site staffed MSU™
at the Central Prison in Raleigh, NC. The correctional
facility is enjoying significant cost savings as well
as improved community relations as a result of minimizing
the risk to the community of an escape as the result of
providing on-site healthcare services to inmates. |
INTERNATIONAL HEALTH
|
| |
As
medical coverage and social healthcare programs become
more developed in the international arena, Emergency Medical
Directors, Hospital Administrators, Health Ministries
and others responsible for healthcare delivery are recognizing
the need to dramatically improve traditional healthcare
delivery options and to design new systems that incorporate
a higher level of healthcare standards which more directly
meet the needs of both the populations to be served and
the resources available to fund healthcare delivery programs.
Value Proposition
MMIC has the solutions – and the solutions are mobile
and customizable providing Western healthcare delivery
“equivalency of care” standards for patients
around the world. |
DISASTER READINESS / EMERGENCY
RESPONSE AND RELIEF
|
| |
Natural disasters and terrorist activity are at an all-time
high. MMIC’s solution is the utilization of mobile
units so that when a disaster occurs, high quality medical
services can be immediately deployed to stricken areas
to address healthcare delivery concerns during that “golden
hour” when care is most critical.
MMIC’s units also serve to isolate patients with
potentially communicable conditions thereby protecting
hospital staff and patients from exposure.
Additionally disaster relief teams can utilize the mobile
facilities to train healthcare providers during peacetime,
utilizing the very units they will deploy during a crisis,
so that when there is a terrorist or disaster situation,
personnel are completely ready and trained to use the
units fulfilling CME and GME requirements.
Value Proposition
Mobile units serve a dual purpose and the assurance of
a trained staff when the units are deployed to provide
medical readiness solutions in the event of disaster/emergency
situations. |
LICENSING
AND ACCREDITATIONS
|
| |
MMIC’s
MSU™ was strategically designed to comply with issues
of life safety, quality patient care, and compliance with
state licensing guidelines and Medicare certification
requirements from its inception.
Licensing & State Regulations
To be recognized and operational, healthcare facilities
must be:
|
State
licensed; a process whereby designated state employee/consultants
tour the physical plant and review the policies
and procedures that govern every activity of the
facility in detail |
|
Surveyed
by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services
(CMS), formerly HCFA, to ensure compliance with
its policies and procedures |
MMIC received CMS approval in October 1997. In March 1998,
California officially licensed the first Mobile Surgery
Unit™ as a freestanding ambulatory surgery center
(ASC); the first time in the history of U.S. healthcare
that a Mobile Surgery Unit™ was licensed as a freestanding
surgery center.
Since then, Florida has passed legislation allowing Mobile
Surgery Units™ to be licensed for use in their Department
of Corrections and Virginia now has two operational units.
Other states have either reviewed or are in the process
of reviewing applications for their specific requirements.
Accreditation for Quality
For further quality assurances, MMIC undertook
and passed two national inspections to obtain full healthcare
accreditation. The benchmarks that MMIC has achieved for
highest quality U.S. standards in mobile facilities include:
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
(JCAHO)
Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) |
