"There is a need in the modern military to optimize the time physicians interact with patients. For example, a goal is for doctors to spend no more than 15 to 30 minutes with the patient during routine outpatient appointments. A great deal must beaccomplished during this time, ranging from a review of the vital signs and assessment of the patient's conditions, through a diagnosis and ordering of prescriptions, laboratory tests, etc. to a possible referral or follow up; and discharge.A significant advancement to improving physician /patient interaction is a set of standardized medical guidelines across both the US military and civilian medical community, and better training in the utilization of the guidelines. The training must becomprehensive ranging from diagnosis, through treatment, to the prevention of future medical conditions. The proposed program will accomplish this objective by combining the recent advances in telemedicine with those of Advanced Distributed Learning(ADL).The combination of telemedicine and ADL will be a powerful tool for training the medical community in the use of medical guidelines and related information such as Electronic Medical Records (EMR). We will accomplish this by utilizing two technologiesthat we have in place at Ontar. The first is called TENOR (Training and Education Network on Request) which is a highly sophisticated ADL system. The second system is called ComPResS (Computerized Patient
