Telemedicine Wins Statewide Marketing AwardTONI BAKER

he Medical College of Georgia's initiative in developing a system that makes health care more accessible and less costly in Georgia is the grand winner of the 1995 Marketing Award for Excellence (MAX).

This third annual MAX Award, sponsored by Georgia State University's Department of Marketing and the Atlanta Business Chronicle, recognizes the best of new products, services and marketing innovations in Georgia- based companies or divisions.

Georgia State University's Marketing RoundTable, comprised of

top marketing executives from 22 major Atlanta businesses, selected MCG and its telemedicine program from a field of a dozen finalists.

"One of the biggest things determining its selection was its potential societal impact," said Danny Bellenger, chairman of Georgia State University's Department of Marketing. "It's the way it distributes a service. It's a significant innovation in the delivery of a product, and the potential to have major impact on the cost and quality of health care overall is astounding."

"I am delighted for the Medical College of Georgia, the Telemedicine Center and

the state leaders who have steadfastly supported this university and the telemedicine program," said MCG President Francis J. Tedesco. "I think it's a validation of the tremendously positive, innovative role of MCG and of telemedicine as one of its products."

Telemedicine is an interactive patient- examination system designed to eliminate distance in the provision of health care, thus addressing issues such as rural health-care delivery and lower health-care costs. Telemedicine technology uses a special grouping of

MCG, Emory Form Managed-Care GroupTONI BAKER

The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics and the Emory University System of Health Care and its affiliated hospitals have joined in a statewide

network of physicians and hospitals designed to offer Georgia's businesses convenient, cost-efficient health care.

director of corporate services for the Emory System, is president and chief executive officer of the new hospital network called Georgia 1st. In addition to MCG Hospital, Emory's 35 affiliates representing 47 hospitals across Georgia are eligible to participate in Georgia 1st.

National health-care reform efforts have accelerated the private sector's work to reduce health-care costs, which is the role of management and managed health care, said Dr. Charles H. Wray, MCG vice president for clinical activities and Georgia 1st board member.

"Companies that have employees scattered all around the state of Georgia

want one health-care management plan for their employees," he said. This includes a single insurance provider as well as physicians, nurses and other health-care providers in the cities where employees live, he said. At the same time businesses are interested in reducing costs, hospitals are working to ensure an adequate patient base for the future, Dr. Wray said.

"This is an important step forward in MCG's participation in managed health care," said Dr. Darrell G. Kirch, dean of the MCG School of Medicine. "It's necessary, as more patients come under managed-care plans, to ensure that MCG

remains available to those patients as a place to get high-quality health care."

Academic health-care centers must secure an adequate patient base not only for their financial security, but for their educational mission as well, said Dr. Francis J. Tedesco, MCG president. 'To ensure a solid referral base, we want to participate in networks with managed care," he said.

communities to receive definitive health care. The patients therefore save time and money, and rural communities are able to maintain more of their patient base.

The MCG Telemedicine Center became operational in November 1991 with a hookup between MCG Hospital.and Dodge County Hospital, 130 miles from Augusta. In 1994, the Georgia Statewide

Telemedicine Program was developed, which will link 59 hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices and correctional facilities to the telemedicine system. Georgia Senate Bill 144 - the Distance Learning and Telemedicine Act of 1992 - has allocated $50 million to fund the expansion plus distance- learning initiatives, which enable long-distance education using similar technology.

Currently the MCG Telemedicine Center is working with evaluators at the University of Michigan to examine many aspects of this new mode of health-care delivery. Information gathered will be used by the Health Care Financing Administration to evaluate other states' telemedicine programs and determine reimbursements for care provided via those systems.

Georgia will kick off its 1995 Faculty for the Advancement of Clinical Care, Teaching and Science (FACTS) campaign with an orientation breakfast meeting for campaign representatives March 23 at 7:30 a.m. at the MCG Alumni Center.

The annual campaign, initiated in 1992, is designed to familiarize faculty with the function of the MCG Foundation and to raise funds to benefit the university.

Department repres entatives within each unit will contact the faculty to educate them about the campaign and to give them an opportunity to support the university. Sixty-six percent of the faculty participated in last year's campaign, raising $185,902. Several units had 100 percent participation, including the MCG Hospital and Clinics administration, the School of Allied Health Sciences administration, and the School of Allied Health Sciences Departments of Dental Hygiene, Health Information Management, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant and

Respiratory Therapy.The goal this year is for

100 percent participation within each department, said Dr. James B. Osborne, vice president for university advancement. Faculty participation is vital not only to benefit the university, but to attract external financial support, Dr. Osborne said. "Foundations and

corporations use faculty giving as a critical indicator of faculty commitment to an institution and its goals," he said. "One area that could especially benefit this year is student scholarships, but a contribution to any fund would benefit MCG."

Distance-Learning Reaching Out to State's YouthTONlBAKER

The Medical College of Georgia Department of Pediatrics has launched a research initiative that uses today's interactive, distance-learning technology to improve the health of Georgia's children.

"Not only do we want to provide excellent pediatric care in the Children's Medical Center, but we want to become a national leader in providing pediatric health education to prevent disease," said Dr. Warren B. Karp, professor of pediatrics and head of the pediatric distance-learning initiative.

Communication is via the Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System, which has some 140 sites in Georgia. Satellite connections and the international information system Internet make it possible to share programs with other states and even other

countries, Dr. Karp said."What we are providing is

live, interactive programming," he said of the new distance-learning initiatives that eliminate distance while providing the same educational exchanges that are possible in classrooms.

With this initiative, teachers can, for instance, learn from a physical therapist about the special needs of a child with a crippling disease such as muscular dystrophy; students can learn from a child with this disease how they can be supportive classmates; and nurses working in rural Georgia can learn the latest on the cardiovascular health of children.

Infants, children and adolescents, particularly minorities, rural Georgians and those physically and emotionally challenged, will get information first-hand through this new, multifaceted approach to health education and disease prevention, said Dr. Karp.

Dr. Warren Karp chairs meeting of Pediatrics Distance-Learning Steering Group.

But the initiative also focuses on making lifelong learners of children's care- givers, including their parents and teachers, as well as their physicians, nurses, dentists and

therapists, he said. This includes plans for a special national pediatric computer network that will give children's health-care providers an easy way to get their questions answered.

"We are planning for the future. We are looking to establish MCG nationally as a major distance-learning leader for children in conjunction with the new children's hospital and we are looking to provide MCG

graduates with access to lifelong learning," Dr. Karp said, referencing the new Children's Medical Center scheduled for completion in late 1997.

This new education effort involves teachers, parents and a cross-section of resource groups interested in children's well-being such as the Georgia Department

Employees Asked to Heed Parking RulesPublic Safety reminds the

Medical College of Georgia community that employees and students who park in patient parking when not on campus as a patient or visitor will be fined.

The fines are $25 for the first violation, $50 for the second and $100 for the third.

A recent spot check revealed that 70 to 75 students or employees were parked in the patient parking side of the deck in front of the hospital. Another 15 were in the lot in front of the Student Center.

"Citations will be voided for those who are legitimately parked in a patient/visitor lot as patients, or who are visiting patients in the hospital," said Public Safety director Bruce Morgan. "We will check with the practice sites, though, to determine that these employees or their family member did in fact have appointments."

Patient parking is increased in the parking deck in front of the hospital Tuesdays and Thursdays when the outpatient load is at its peak Normally, 915

spaces are allotted for patients and visitors; 5,610 are allotted for MCG employees. Campus and hospital administrators are currently developing new projections for parking requirements and an updated plan to meet employee and visitor needs. In the meantime, remember that the MCG shuttle operates from 7:30 am to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and serves the hospital, Chafee Street and Annex parking areas.
