Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina has challenged health professionals to implement teleconsultation to maintain continuity of care.
Objectives:
Describe the implementation of new technologies in teleconsultation by Nutrition professionals from Entre Ríos, from the beginning of the ASPO to the new normal.Methodology: Observational, descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional study, in which 72 Nutrition professionals from Entre Ríos, Argentina participated through a self-administered online questionnaire. The descriptive analysis of the data was carried out in the IBM® SPSS Statistics program.
Results:
84.7% of professionals began to implement new technologies in teleconsultation since the beginning of the ASPO. Although the majority did not experience significant changes in their income, relationships with patients, or time spent in teleconsultation compared to in-person care, 78% did not receive specific training for the implementation of these technologies in remote care. Despite this challenge, 80% expressed their intention to continue with this type of care in the new normal, allocating hours of their workload for this purpose.
Conclusions:
The implementation of new technologies in teleconsultation has proven to be an ally in maintaining the continuity of nutritional care since the beginning of ASPO. However, to provide a quality service, it is necessary to select the most appropriate technologies and dedicate sufficient time to planning and implementation.
