Physicians show strong interest in telemedicine for pediatric trauma care, favoring flexible communication methods like video and imaging. This collaboration aims to improve care by connecting outpatient and inpatient sectors through digitalization.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Pediatric Surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Pediatric traumatology demands expertise in physeal development and ossification.
- Digitalization is increasingly significant in healthcare.
- Enhancing outpatient-inpatient communication is crucial for pediatric care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess physician willingness to engage in telemedicine collaborations.
- To promote digitalization in pediatric trauma care.
- To improve information exchange between outpatient and inpatient sectors.
Main Methods:
- A 15-item survey was distributed to 800 physicians (trauma surgeons, pediatric surgeons, pediatricians) within 100 km of Hamburg, Germany.
- The survey gathered data on professional and telemedicine experience.
- Inquiries focused on potential telemedicine collaborations.
Main Results:
- The response rate was 19.3%.
- 75% of respondents expressed interest in inpatient sector collaboration.
- Physicians favored flexible communication, including video telephony, imaging, and messaging applications.
Conclusions:
- A high interest in telemedicine collaboration for pediatric trauma care was observed.
- Tailored information exchange, incorporating imaging, is essential.
- Data protection and further research on telemedicine effectiveness are critical.
