CAMSYS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND OHIO ALLIANCE OF COMMUNITY CENTERS FOR THE DEAF CREATE PROGRAM TO EASE DOCTOR-PATIENT COMMUNICATIONS IN OHIO HOSPITALS. Tuesday, May 24, 2005, 08:44 AM - CamSys News PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Worthingon, Ohio - May 24th, 2005
CamSys Communications Inc. announced today that it has been working with the Ohio Alliance of Community Centers for the Deaf to create a videoconferencing network that will allow patients to communicate with physicians by means of a sign language interpreter over a videoconferencing connection. The pilot program, which began in earlier this year, started with the installation of videoconferencing systems in a few key hospitals throughout Ohio.
"We hope that the creation of this service will provide physicians with the ability to interact closely with the patient, allowing them to swiftly and accurately diagnose the patient's ailments." says Ken Moon, CamSys' Chief Executive Officer. "Our state has a large hearing impaired population, and with continued success and hospital cooperation, we hope to assist the Ohio Alliance of Community Centers for the Deaf with the expansion this offering."
Each participating hospital uses products and services from industry-leading video and telecommunications companies. CamSys worked with these companies to build a tightly integrated solution, with the end goal of a videoconferencing system that would be as simple as changing the channel on a television. They believe that they met and exceeded that goal.
Videoconferencing is used by CamSys' clients throughout the nation to perform a variety of tasks. This has shown to drastically decrease their travel time and business expenses, often recovering the cost of implementing video systems in a matter of months.
"Videoconferencing, at its core, is about overcoming obstacles," commented Moon. "Many businesses already use our services to maintain communications with their clients and remote offices. We took these techniques and slightly adapted them to make videoconferencing work for this specific telemedicine application.
"It was a natural fit."
