    Insights

    This study highlights how telemedicine effectively shares pediatric cardiac surgery knowledge, improving care for children with congenital heart diseases in underserved regions. Technological collaboration enhances medical expertise globally.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are the most common major birth defect, affecting 1 in 120 children.
    • A significant majority (90%) of affected children reside in areas with limited access to adequate medical care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To facilitate knowledge and experience exchange between an international pediatric cardiac surgery center of excellence and a partner program in Brazil.
    • To establish and implement new programs through collaborative technological and educational support.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized long-term technological and educational support models from an established center of excellence.
    • Implemented a Telemedicine platform for monthly real-time broadcasts on relevant topics.
    • Employed chat software to foster interaction between healthcare professionals and the center of excellence team.

    Main Results:

    • Enabled specialized healthcare professionals to share and receive knowledge pertinent to pediatric cardiac care.
    • Facilitated the dissemination of expertise in managing congenital heart diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • Technological resources, including Telemedicine and interactive platforms, proved effective in globalizing knowledge.
    • The initiative successfully disseminated and improved the team's expertise in caring for children with congenital heart diseases.
