Институт онкологии осваивает возможности телемедицины

КИШИНЕВ, 26 октября / ИА "Новости - Молдова"/. Сотрудники Института онкологии Молдовы получили возможность широко использовать преимущества телемедицины, сообщили агентству «НОВОСТИ-МОЛДОВА» в министерстве здравоохранения РМ.

В понедельник там закончена установка комплекта соответствующего оборудования, которое было приобретено при поддержке Германии через Центр международной миграции и развития. Оно позволит учреждению и ее специалистам проводить более эффективную диагностику и лечение в соответствии с европейскими стандартами. Врачи, в частности, смогут консультироваться с коллегами из медицинских учреждений других стран по диагностике и лечению больных в тяжелых случаях.

Кроме того, телемедицина предполагает дистанционное обучение, обмен информацией и опытом посредством видеосвязи.

Первый проект практической телемедицины в Республике Молдова был внедрен в начале 2009 года в Институте неврологии и нейрохирургии.

Asociaţia Americană Telemedicală oferă Standarde şi Ghiduri pentru telemedicină, inclusiv Ghidul pentru telesănătatea mintală

În octombrie 2009 Asociaţia Americană Telemedicală a publicat Ghidul practic pentru telesănătate mintală, bazat pe videoconferinţe.

Standarde, ghiduri şi mecanisme de asigurare a calităţii sunt direcţii prioritare pentru activitatea Asociaţiei. Prin intermediul Comitetului pentru Standarde şi Ghiduri, Asociaţia implementează identificarea, supravegherea şi suportul grupelor de lucru care elaborează standarde individuale şi ghiduri, recomandează priorităţi în fiecare domeniu aparte. Grupuri de lucru se preocupă cu revizuirea standardelor şi ghidurilor existente, menţinerea terminologiei telemedicale şi de telesănătate. Standarde şi ghiduri elaborate de ATA pot fi găsite aici.
