Introduction
Health care provided via telecommunication.
- technology-based delivery of health care to patients located remotely from the health-care provider
- for example, a physician (or other health care provider) in his/her office can interact with a patient at home via videophone &/or two-way interactive computer networks
- a model for delivery of telehealth servicesis the hub-&-spoke system, wherein a center with expertise in a diagnosis & management of a disease (the hub) provides telehealth services to underserved centers (the spokes).[9][19]
- considerations in advising elderly via telemedine include:
- hearing impairment
- dual-eligibility (Medicare, Medicaid)
- access to a social worker at the building (GRS11)[29]
Indications
- diagnosis & management of patients with diabetic retinopathy[15]
- roadblocks in providing care can be removed by telemedicine[21]
- may reduce unnecessary ambulance transports[25]
- integration as part of usual primary care[26]
- a telehealth visit offers an opportunities to:
- review chronic conditions
- authorize refill of medications
- check patient well-being
- review advance care planning[29]
- a telehealth visit offers an opportunities to:
- depression; therapy from lay counselor or licensed clinician of benefit[27]
Clinical trials
- telephone-based system for frequent, remote data collection after hospitalization for heart failure[10]
- did not reduce hospitalizations or improve outcomes
- patient compliance was poor
- of benefit[14]
- telemedicine program many diminish mortality if patients with major depression excluded[22]*
- telemonitoring of patients multiple serious morbidities consisting of daily assessments of weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, & peak expiratory flow with at least some real-time video conferencing reviewed by a nurse case-manager resulted in:
- increased hospitalization (52% vs 44%) vs usual care
- increased emergency department visits ((35% vs 28%)
- increased mortality (14.7% vs 3.9%)[11]
- postdischarge telephone calls to patients after hospital discharge resulted in fewer hospital readmissions 9.3% vs 11.5%, fewer emergency room visits 8.1% vs 9.4%, but more physician office visits 76.5% vs. 72.3%[12]
- the closer the intervention to the date of hospital discharge, the greater the reduction in number of hospital readmissions
- telemonitroing improves blood pressure control in patients with uncontrolled hypertension[13]
- telemedicine approach to management of Parkinson's disease non-inferior to traditional office-based approach[20]
* telemedicine program for heart failure (preserved or reduced LVEF)
- daily transmissions of body weight, blood pressure, cardiac rhythm, oxygen saturation, health status
- patient education
- algorithm-guided physician management
- 4 full-time physicians & 5 nurses during working hours & 2 on-call physicians at night (~800 patients)[22]
Notes
- visits for respiratory infections are slightly shorter when antibiotics are prescribed than when not (7.5 vs 8.0 minutes) & patient satisfaction are better with any prescription than nothing, & best with an antibiotic [23]
- patients generally are satisfied with video visits integrated with usual primary care[26]
More general terms
More specific terms
- telemedicine for detection of diabetic retinopathy
- telemedicine for management of diabetic retinopathy
- telephone appointment visit (TAV); telephone encounter
- telephone triage; call center
- virtual home care
