This paper examines the use of the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) for telemedicine from the computer scientist's point of view. As increased bandwidth becomes available at reasonable cost, it becomes possible to employ graphical user interfaces in telemedicine systems. This means that human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques can be applied to the interface design. This paper describes some of these as applied to telemedicine by other authors. HCI techniques can be considered to be part of the development process of telemedicine systems. An integrated, multimedia-based telemedicine system which emulated the concept of a hospital information system would have many benefits, such as a consistent user interface with appropriate clinical metaphors, integrated patient records with facilities to store graphical information, and remote access. Telemedicine has much to offer in terms of providing higher standards of patient care through improved response times by clinicians who have the required information immediately available. The patient also benefits from convenience factors, such as being able to consult locally a remote specialist.
本文从计算机科学家的角度探讨了综合业务数字网（ISDN）在远程医疗中的应用。随着以合理成本获得更高的带宽，在远程医疗系统中采用图形用户界面成为可能。这意味着人机交互（HCI）技术可应用于界面设计。本文描述了其他作者将其中一些技术应用于远程医疗的情况。HCI技术可被视为远程医疗系统开发过程的一部分。一个模拟医院信息系统概念的基于多媒体的综合远程医疗系统将有许多好处，比如具有适当临床隐喻的一致用户界面、带有存储图形信息功能的综合患者记录以及远程访问。远程医疗在通过让临床医生能够立即获取所需信息从而缩短响应时间来提供更高标准的患者护理方面有很大作用。患者也能从便利因素中受益，比如能够在当地咨询远程专家。
