“…The main mandatory factors involved in building a module include a scientific coordinator as the central figure and the participation of someone with both medical and IT skills. Finally, older HCPs tended to struggle with working on the platform, while the younger operators adapted quickly, were not disconcerted by the technology, and showed interest and satisfaction with the projects they carried out [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Background Telemedicine, a term that encompasses several applications and tasks, generally involves the remote management and treatment of patients by physicians. It is known as transversal telemedicine when practiced among health care professionals (HCPs). Objective We describe the experience of implementing our telemedicine Eumeda platform for HCPs over the last 10 years. Methods A web-based informatics platform was developed that had continuously updated hypertext created using advanced technology and the following features: security, data insertion, dedicated software for image analysis, and the ability to export data for statistical surveys. Customizable files called “modules” were designed and built for different fields of medicine, mainly in the ophthalmology subspecialty. Each module was used by HCPs with different authorization profiles. Implementation (Results) Twelve representative modules for different projects are presented in this manuscript. These modules evolved over time, with varying degrees of interconnectivity, including the participation of a number of centers in 19 cities across Italy. The number of HCP operators involved in each single module ranged from 6 to 114 (average 21.8, SD 28.5). Data related to 2574 participants were inserted across all the modules. The average percentage of completed text/image fields in the 12 modules was 65.7%. All modules were evaluated in terms of access, acceptability, and medical efficacy. In their final evaluation, the participants judged the modules to be useful and efficient for clinical use. Conclusions Our results demonstrate the usefulness of the telemedicine platform for HCPs in terms of improved knowledge in medicine, patient care, scientific research, teaching, and the choice of therapies. It would be useful to start similar projects across various health care fields, considering that in the near future medicine as we know it will completely change.

UNSTRUCTURED Telemedicine is conceived as physicians who manage and treat patients remotely. However, transversal telemedicine practice also exists among healthcare professionals (HCPs). We present details of our telemedicine practice among HCPs in the last 10 years. A web-based informatic platform was developed, with a continuously updated hypertext built using advanced technology with the following features: security, data insertion, dedicated software for image analysis, and exporting of data for statistical surveys. Customizable files called “modules” were designed and built-in for different fields of medicine, mainly in ophthalmology subspecialty. Each module was employed by HCPs with different authorization profiles. Each project was evaluated in terms of access, acceptability, and medical efficacy. The twelve most representative modules for the different purposes are presented in this manuscript. These modules evolved over time, with varying degrees of interconnectivity, involving several centres in 19 cities across Italy. The number of HCPs involved to use each single module ranged from 6 to 114 (average 21.8). Data related to 2574 subjects were inserted into all modules. The average percentage of data entered in the text/image fields in overall 12 modules was 65.7%. In their final evaluation, participants judged the modules to be good. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of the telemedicine platform for HCPs in terms of improved knowledge in medicine, patient care, choice of therapies, scientific research, and teaching. It would be useful to start similar projects across the various fields of medicine, considering that, in the near future, medicine as we know will completely change.
