Telemedicine Coalition of the Greater Caribbean 

By Dr. Emid Núñez Conde

To carry out scientific and technological work ahead and compensate for the lack of medical services in rural and remote areas will join the resources of the peoples of the Caribbean basin. 

The Greater Caribbean Basin comprises the countries are on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, with a population of approximately 200 million people with average poverty rate of over 40%, and poverty, public health and poor infrastructure deteriorated remotes areas. 

This gives us an opportunity to train health professionals and other resources related to the use of other countries for technological development in poor ares. 

Our mission is to build a school in Haiti while creating resources for health missions. To achieve this effect we make a school trainer certified 300 health workers who support in this task. 

This will be done through the use of Open School education in the cloud with face meeting in the territory of Haiti, with clinics giving support related medical service in the Dominican Republic. 

In my home country, Puerto Rico, with the institutional support of the medical schools and agricultural sciences, civil society, the Church and in Guatemala with the support of consultation with the prestigious training organization, entity as training Tula Salud  and primary general support us in building infrastructure. 

We did two tests telecommunication connection in Puerto Rico and doctors in Haiti, about 70 students attended the test simulating a remote teleconsultation very low budget, it was a success. 

It was shown that medical doctors and teachers as communications can be used to maximize the resources of this country almost absent and two nations were represented. 

The vision is to leverage this infrastructure to train medical personnel in the use of telecommunications and make a medical school specializing in this field. 

I would like to extend an invitation for this medium to assist in the design and work. Therefore, I encourage everyone to support this international effort of goodwill and development of science, intellectual and economic desrrollo this area. 

Sincerely,

1) Simulation Exercise: Telemedicine, Puerto Rico to Haiti

2) Provide a brief description of the learning outcomes were reasonable logic to the task or exercise suggested

Results: It is possible to assemble groups of professionals with common end and low-cost technologies to offer support is nonexistent third world countries in our region.

More than 100 people involved in a virtual classroom to give a dermatological treatment a patient previously chosen.

3) Provide a brief description of what the simulation can be and / or include. Things such as the content or the form, as well as general explanations of the type of simulation should get credit.

Perform virtually equipped classroom where students make a work table for 6 months.

These students have the field following specialties:

a) Nursing Assistant

b) Experts in the use of telecommunications

c) Cartography and mapping

d) Basic concepts of public health

5) mobile technology equipment, computers and internet.

4) Briefly describe the type of evaluation or rating rubric that would be used during the simulation.

Scores through exams will be made virtual and at one stage. And also with simulated testing practices in the field that they prepare students in workshops and learning.
