We have made a theoretical study of the potential for televisiting. All journeys made by the home care support team in an area of Madrid were reviewed to study the possibility of using televisiting. During the year 2000 the team provided an average of seven home visits a day. The home visits took 30 min on average, and the journey time was 30 min for urban areas and 45 min in the suburbs. We estimated that two of each day s visits could be carried out by telemedicine, with a mean duration of 15 min each. A model was used to calculate the resource demands and the potential cost-savings of televisiting compared with traditional home care. Using televisiting, 62% more suburban oncology patients could be managed and a cost reduction of euro;6 per visit could be achieved after 10 weeks.
我们对远程探视的潜力进行了理论研究。回顾了马德里某地区家庭护理支持团队进行的所有行程，以研究使用远程探视的可能性。2000年期间，该团队平均每天进行7次家访。家访平均耗时30分钟，市区的行程时间为30分钟，郊区为45分钟。我们估计，每天的探视中有两次可以通过远程医疗进行，每次平均时长为15分钟。使用一个模型来计算与传统家庭护理相比，远程探视的资源需求和潜在成本节约。使用远程探视后，郊区肿瘤患者的管理数量可增加62%，10周后每次探视可节省6欧元成本。
