September 29,2008 - The NThC team conducted a lecture about the 3 major components of the National Telehealth Center. Dr. Alex Gavino discussed the e-Medicine component and the tele-referral system for the Doctors-to-the-Barrios assigned all over the Philippines while Nurse Alexandra Bernal explained the e-Learning component which the primary beneficiaries are the health care workers in the remote areas of the country. Lastly, Nurse Pia Tolentino presented the e-Records component which is mainly the CHITS project.
After the presentation, an open forum discussion was held. Most of the questions that came from the students are about accountability, privacy and ethical issues. The professors and other academicians asked on how they would benefit from the available services of the center specifically the e-learning or tele-mentoring sessions.
