- Medical Disasters Resource Network
(Developed by Medical Missions for Children at St. Joseph’s Childrens Hospital)
The purpose of the MD.RN initiative is to establish an up-to-date inventory of telemedicine hub networks willing and capable of providing care coordination and clinical support and to share situation, patient, and threat information. This database was designed to identify telemedicine resources with the ability and willingness to operationalize after-hours and under duress. The database itself will focus on single network points of contact who can be reached 24/7. These are the national video network enablers that can activate their system and bring clinic assets to their network in a timely fashion.
