A new protocol enables telemedical consultations between emergency nurse practitioners and hospital doctors via videoconferencing. This system successfully facilitated over 300 remote consultations, aiding in diagnosis and patient management.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Telehealth

Background:

  • Telemedicine offers solutions for remote healthcare access.
  • Emergency departments face challenges in timely specialist consultation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a protocol for telemedical consultations in an emergency setting.
  • To assess the feasibility and utility of videoconferencing for specialist consultations.

Main Methods:

  • A standardized protocol for telemedical consultations was developed.
  • Emergency nurse practitioners used videoconferencing (384 kbit/s) to consult with hospital-based specialists.
  • The protocol guided patient explanation, history relay, visual examination, and discussion of diagnosis and management.
