Both lists discuss the design, and operation of networks that communicate between medical centers and rural physicians including software and workstations. I consider it desirable to expand to unix users because the most advanced features of consulting networks include unix features such as X-window terminals. I have the agreement of the unix administrator of the Computer Science Department of the State University of New York at Albany. If approved, the new newsgroup will be created on the hub machine csnews.albany.edu. We have considered starting a bit.list mirror of the bitnet list and rejercted this since I want sci.med.hspnet to have much new content and also SUNYA CS is reluctant to find extra disk space for the bit.lists. Similar feelings may well reduce the availbity of bit.lists elsewhere. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to receive further instructions and questions to set the discussion in motion. D.F.

It is intended for discussion of design, hardware, software, strategies for extended clinical consulting by hospital computer networks. The discussion is of special interest to medical centers seeking to apply telemedicine to their rural consortium and to isolated physicians in remote regions of developing countries. The original proposal was for sci.med.hspnet. It has been suggested that ".hspnet" is not sufficiently descriptive and perhaps "sci.med.telemedicine" would be better. Other suggestions are certainly welcome. Discussion taking place in the 3 year old BITNET group [email protected] will be included in sci.med.telemedicine but the new group is expected to provide a base for medical users of unix systems such as X terminals and UUCP net works. Attention will also be directed to the new unix systems which are coordinating state and regional insurance and statistical information. Note that the possibility of creating a "bit.list" has been considered and rejected because (a) we do not want to simply mirror the BITNET list but hope to obtain new and different information from the newsgroup audience, and (b) we find that not all news feeds include the bit.lists. The first Request for Discussion was posted on Jan 14, 1993. ** Please send your discussion to news.groups ** Points under discussion are the name of the group, its unmoderated status, ideas about content, etc. If warranted, the charter of the group will be reformulated and followed by a Call for Votes.

STATUS: unmoderated CHARTER: Discussion of computer networks that connect between hospitals and/or physician's offices, including international linkages between medical facilities in different countries. Subjects will include hardware and software for such networks, increased use of networks for transmission of text and image patient data, and help in use of e-mail for medical purposes. The group will be linked to the bitnet list [email protected] VOTING PERIOD The voting period starts with the posting of this CFV, and lasts for 30 days. Votes received after 23:59:59 GMT on 25 March 1993 will not be counted. Each person has only one vote, even if they have multiple computer accounts. Votes must be mailed to the vote-taker. Posted votes will not be counted. HOW TO VOTE Vote by sending mail to [email protected] or [email protected] with the word YES or NO in the subject line. If you use rn or a similar news reader, you can use r (reply), edit YES or NO into the Subject line, and mail it. Ideally your vote would appear as one of the following: Subject: YES sci.med.telemedicine Subject: NO sci.med.telemedicine Votes which do not contain yes or no in the Subject line will cause extra work but will still be counted so long as they are unambiguous. Votes will be acknowledged by mail, but any acknowledgement that bounces will not be re-tried. There will also be at least one mass acknowledgement posted during the voting period. The final vote tally will be posted at the end of the vote, including a list showing how everyone voted. If you vote more than once from the same address, only the most recent vote received will be counted as valid. If you vote more than once from different addresses in an apparent attempt at a vote fraud, all your votes may be rejected, and this fact plus your name published to the net. RESULT At the end of the voting period, there will be a period of five days from the posting of the result to allow for any errors to be noted and corrected. The group will be created if at least 100 more YES votes than NO votes are received, with at least 2/3 of the valid votes received in favor. If both the 100 vote margin and 2/3 majority are not met, the group will not be created. -- Donald F. Parsons MD, Wadsworth Ctr.
