When designing a facility for telemedicine, there are several things to consider from a human factors point of view, as well as from a practicality point of view. Although the future practice of telemedicine is likely to be more of a mobile-based practice and centered more in the home than it is now, it is still very important to consider ways to optimize the design of clinic-based telemedicine facilities. This is true on both ends of a consultation-where the patient is and where the consultant is. On the patient side, the first thing to realize is that most telemedicine clinics are not going to be newly designed and built. In all likelihood they will be existing rooms converted to telemedicine clinic rooms. Quite often the former room will not even have been used for clinical purposes, but may have simply been a storage area cleared out for telemedicine use. Therefore, design is often a challenge but there are a few basic principles that can be followed to create a workable clinical space. This paper will review some of the basic human factors principles to take into account when designing a working telemedicine environment.
在设计远程医疗设施时，需要从人体工程学的角度以及实际角度考虑几个方面。尽管未来的远程医疗实践可能更侧重于基于移动设备的实践，并且更多地集中在家庭中，而不是现在这样，但仍非常有必要考虑优化基于诊所的远程医疗设施的设计。在咨询的两端（患者所在的位置和顾问所在的位置）都是如此。在患者方面，首先要意识到的是，大多数远程医疗诊所都不会进行全新的设计和建造。很可能它们将是经过改造的现有房间，变成远程医疗诊所的房间。以前的房间甚至可能从未用于临床目的，而只是被清理出来用于远程医疗使用的存储区域。因此，设计通常是一个挑战，但有一些基本的原则可以遵循，以创建一个可行的临床空间。本文将回顾一些基本的人体工程学原则，以便在设计远程医疗环境时加以考虑。
