Abstract:
A network server establishes sessions to enable a caretaker to engage in a virtual medical consultation with one of a plurality of clinical assessment team members, each using their own respective end-user devices. The network server sends out a notification to at least two clinical assessment team members, and establishes a virtual medical consultation session between the caretaker and the first clinical assessment team member to respond. Subsequent clinical assessment team members who respond are rejected by the network server. Team members other than the first to respond are sent an update to stand down from the notification, thereby indicating that participation in the virtual medical consultation is no longer needed. The end-user devices delete the protected health information exchanged during the session, and generate an alert if copying is detected.
