Pediatric oncology units in Germany see telemedicine as key to improving cancer care quality and reducing costs. However, they need more support with technical implementation and overcoming obstacles like data security and informatics expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Telemedicine

Context:

  • The Competence Net Pediatric Oncology of the German/Austrian Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Onkologie und Hämatologie (GPOH) surveyed 46 of the largest pediatric hematology/oncology units in Germany.
  • The survey assessed current experiences, motivations, infrastructure, and perceived benefits and obstacles related to telemedicine implementation.
  • This initiative is part of a broader telemedicine project aimed at enhancing patient care and research in pediatric oncology.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the current status and future potential of telemedicine in German pediatric oncology centers.
  • To identify key facilitators and barriers to the successful implementation of telemedicine applications.
  • To guide the GPOH Competence Net's telemedicine project, focusing on immediate needs.

Summary:

  • All participants expressed a need for detailed implementation guidance and technical support for telemedicine.
  • The majority anticipate practical benefits, including improved quality of care for children with cancer and potential cost reductions.
  • Key obstacles identified include a lack of medical informatics expertise, data security concerns, and standardization issues, despite widespread computer and internet use.

Impact:

  • Telemedicine is expected to become standard in pediatric oncology, with electronic expert consultation identified as the most pressing need.
  • A significant majority of institutions (72%) believe telemedicine will reduce healthcare costs.
  • Despite current infrastructural and informational gaps, 37 out of 46 institutions are willing to invest in telemedicine implementation.
