Pilot Study to Evaluate the Clinical Utility of Auscultation Software at Remote Locations

Primary Objective: Evaluation of the utility of real-time, scope-to-scope communication between commercially-available 3M Littmann Electronic Model 3200 Electronic stethoscopes over a dedicated intranet system for the assessment of patients at remote (satellite) clinic locations by centrally-located (hub) medical providers.

Secondary Objective: Comparison of the accuracy of patient assessment between the remotely located, mid-level presenter with the centrally-located physician or nurse practitioner provider.
