“…Providing a telemedicine program changes the delivery health status and provides a strong relationship between clinician and patient, which is required [ 35 , 36 ]. This is the first reported study of telemedicine in treating HCV patients in Romania, and may be considered a starting point even outside the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the high response to available therapy.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently delaying the process of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) eradication, since most of the chronic diseases are neglected. Thus, there is a need for alternative programs for HCV therapy implementation and disease monitoring. Our aim was to provide a multidisciplinary approach, so that HCV-infected patients from distant locations may benefit from HCV antivirals during the COVID-19 outbreak and within the lockdown period in Romania. Previously diagnosed HCV patients willing to participate in this telemedicine pilot study were included. Patient characteristics and medical adherence were assessed and compared to the year preceding the pandemic. We proposed a multidisciplinary approach by using a telemedicine program for HCV therapy monitoring. Patients also received a satisfaction questionnaire after delivering the sustained virologic response (SVR) result. A total of 41 patients agreed to participate in this study. The medication adherence was 100% for patients included in the telemedicine group, with a statistically significant difference from the medication adherence of the patients treated in 2019. The satisfaction item score was 4.92 out of 5 and our results (r = −0.94, p < 0.0001) suggested that older patients embraced the telemedicine program less, but with the same success in terms of SVR (100%) and medication adherence (100%). Our pilot study offers the first example of a telemedicine program in Romania for HCV therapeutic management. During the lockdown period, telemedicine has served as a reliable tool and novel alternative for conventional monitoring of patients treated with direct antiviral agents and should be further considered even following the pandemic.

“…Students prepared, conducted, and rehashed successful video consultations. This can be concluded from the comparison of the protocol data and information on learning success with Jiménez-Rodríguez et al 22 criteria for conducting a successful video consultation. In particular, knowledge regarding the prerequisites, possibilities, and limitations of video consultations was promoted among the participating students.…”

Background: Video consultations can complement primary care patient care, but they can also pose challenges for the physicians involved. A need exists to familiarize medical students with the specifics of video consultations. This paper presents the concept and testing of a digitally synchronous distance seminar in which medical students practice and work through the performance of video consultations as an aid to family physicians activity in a patient-oriented manner. The aim of the evaluation was to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (S.W.O.T.) of the teaching concept.Methods:Within the seminar, 12 students carried out video consultations independently under medical supervision, observed the conversations of their fellow students and processed the experiences in the group. The seminar consisted of two elements: A) The whole group of students and teachers was video consulted in a family practice. B) A small group performed a videoconsultation with connection to the home environment of a patient.The evaluation by the students was done by two questionnaires (pre/post), which were analyzed with descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The S.W.O.T. analysis was elaborated by the author team based on the results of the questionnaires and interviews with the teachers.Results:The students learned the limits and possibilities of teleconsultations and deepened their family medical knowledge. The pilot project has strengthened the interest in video consultations among many participants. Patient contact and focused work were seen as strengths of the tested learning model. Above all, technical difficulties and the time required were mentioned as weaknesses. The seminar should also be held after the COVID-19 pandemic. It would bring the chance to involve especially students with multiple workloads in patient teaching. The risks lie in the fact that it still has to be integrated into the curriculum and there are few personnel resources for the organization.Conclusions:The learning model familiarizes medical students with competences in family medical patient care using video communication. Various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threads of the learning concept can be weighted differently. Hereby, project groups can decide individually if they want to integrate the learning concept in their curriculum and which further improvements are necessary.

Background: There is a need to familiarize medical students with the specifics of video consultations. This paper presents the concept and tests of a digitally synchronous distance seminar in which medical students practice video consultations as an aid to a family physician’s activity in a patient-oriented manner. The aim of the evaluation was to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (S.W.O.T.) of the teaching concept. Methods: A total of 12 students carried out video consultations independently and under medical supervision. The seminar included two elements: (A) All students and teachers were video consulted in a family practice; (B) A small group performed a video consultation in a patient´s home environment. The students’ evaluation was conducted with two questionnaires (pre/post), which were analyzed with descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The S.W.O.T. analysis was elaborated by the author team based on the results of the questionnaires and the interviews with the teachers. Results: Students learned the limits and possibilities of teleconsultations and deepened their family medical knowledge. Strengths: Among others; increase interest in video consultations, patient contact, focused work. Weaknesses: Among others; technical difficulties and the time it requires. Opportunities: Among others; involve students with multiple workloads in patient teaching. Risks: Among others; no integration into the curriculum yet, few personnel resources. Conclusions: The learning model familiarizes medical students with competences in family medical patient care using video communication. The results of S.W.O.T. analyses can be weighted differently. Project groups can decide individually if they want to integrate the learning concept into their curriculum and which further improvements are necessary.
