Telemedicine: Development of a distance care system for pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients

Abstract

This tool will enable to increase the coverage area of nephrologists, reduce costs and bring the patient to the primary care physician, using the Family Health Program as an interface between the patient and the nephrology secondary care.

Managing CKD by Telemedicine: The Zuni Telenephrology Clinic

“…Two reports describe approaches to consultation which do not involve direct video interaction between nephrologist and patient; Scherpbier-deHaan 5 developed a system of consultation with family physicians based on review of electronically transmitted data, while Fernandes provided patient evaluation through exchange of digital messages between nephrologist and patient 6 . Mark et al conducted a retrospective review of care provided to 427 patients through a virtual renal clinic in Northern Ireland 7 and calculated savings of £111.6 per visit.…”

Using Telemedicine Technologies in Radiology for Low-Density Area

“…Функционируют специальные веб-платформы для телеконсультаций и со-провождения пациентов с хронической почечной патологией еще не требующей диализа. Та-кую работу обычно ведут врачи общей практики, контролируя состояние пациентов, своевре-менно выявляя состояния, требующие перехода к ЗПТ 226 . Однако, наиболее эффективной кон-цептуально-методологической моделью использования телемедицины при ЗПТ является так называемая система теледиализа.…”

Exploring the utility and scalability of a telehomecare intervention for patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis—a study protocol

“…CKD patients are often not satisfied with their communication with their health care providers and are frequently unaware of their diagnosis or its implications [16–18]. This may be due in part to the volume of CKD patients which have resulted in nephrologists seeing more patients in less time [19]. Simultaneously, alternative methods of communication are being developed and embraced by a population with growing computer literacy [20].…”

“…Simultaneously, alternative methods of communication are being developed and embraced by a population with growing computer literacy [20]. Emerging new technological solutions including the variety of applications and portals for health information are offering patients a better understanding of their diseases and evidence informed practice [19]. …”
