Project Overview

Next Generation Virtual Healthcare (NGVHC) Contract: W81XWH2010471 USAMRAA

Determine novel ideas, approaches, and strategies to identify appropriate and available remote expert consultants to aid the novice care provider in the MDB environment to support just-in-time consultation needs.

The existing expert consultation network is predicated on traditional echelons of care and assumes ready access to reliable communication resources.

Research Aims

  • Objective 1: Design, develop and evaluate innovative approaches so that the project team can gain knowledge/understanding that will uncover how specific needs of just-in-time consultation and NGVHC can be met
  • Objective 2: Develop a functional test approach so that data/analytics may be collected on each technology and process approach explored
  • Objective 3: Applied research-level technical and human factors assessments will be performed by our military subject matter experts
