“…As a result of the use of more efficient communication technology, groundwork can be laid that promotes improved health outcomes throughout the Arctic region. Immonen et al (13, p. 842) state that “there is a great need to explore and share knowledge gained through experience within the region about cross-national collaboration.”Telemedicine is the delivery of patient care from a distance via electronic communications and is 1 component of telehealth, which refers to a broader range of remote health services and information.

In the face of global warming, budgetary austerity and impoverished Arctic residents, the nations of the circumpolar region are presented with a number of difficult choices regarding the provision of health care to the far-flung and isolated regions of their northernmost provinces. Complicating that picture is the reality of neglected tropical diseases in areas far from their perceived normal equatorial range as well as endemic food-borne diseases, including protozoan and helminth parasites, respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases and vaccine-preventable illnesses.This paper discusses the problems of caring for the health and well-being of indigenous populations suffering from extreme poverty, isolation and discrimination in the circumpolar region. After presenting difficulties as supported by the extant literature, the paper continues by suggesting solutions that include novel telenursing applications, targeted distance-educational programs and local community-based health care assistant (HCA) vocational training. These programs will provide cost-effective care that increases life-spans, improves quality of life and provides opportunities to distressed populations in isolated rural communities of the Far North.The toolkit presented in the paper is intended to spur discussion on community health programs that could be adopted to provide proper and humane care for marginalized Arctic populations in an extreme and rapidly changing environment.

“…Much of the existing knowledge base from past participants is contained within institutional or organizational confines as project reports, with little information published or disseminated to guide others through similar endeavors (Immonen, Andersson, & Lvova, 2008;Salvage, 2007). Contained within those confines, the knowledge base is essentially hidden inside an invisible college.…”
