Abstract:
Telemedicine – bridging distances in health care using information and
telecommunication technologies – is widely expected to improve patient
outcomes and/or cut health care costs, so among the many areas of
Medical Informatics it is a prime candidate for enabling big
improvements in health care in India, particularly in India's vast
underserved rural population. Telemedicine projects have been pursued
in Europe and the USA at least since the early 1980s, but there are
still not many areas of medicine and health care in which telemedicine
is really established in routine clinical practice: When the funding
for a project ends, too often the project sinks without trace.
This talk will report on the state of different areas of telemedicine
in Germany and USA. It will focus particularly on three questions:
Which areas of telemedicine have achieved integration into clinical
routine? What are the factors (barriers) that prevent telemedicine
applications from achieving this, and the factors (facilitators) that
help them to do so? And what is really known about the benefits of
telemedicine in terms of patient outcomes and costs? The answers to
these questions, particularly to the second one, vary from country to
country because they depend on characteristics of the health care
system and on many other non-technological factors. So the
implications for India can best be judged by those familiar with the
situation as a whole in India.
