Abstract

Two studies were conducted to test the feasibility of delivering care by videoconferencing to facilities providing care for elderly people. Both used equipment connected by ISDN lines at 384 kbit/s. During the first study, no consultations, care plans or assessments were conducted. During the second study, 120 assessments were conducted in just over two weeks, both face to face and by videoconference. Why was one project so successful and the other not? The reasons related to ownership, planning, participants and location. A comparison of the two projects highlights some of the considerations necessary to ensure the success of any telehealth project.

摘要

开展了两项研究，以测试通过视频会议向为老年人提供护理的机构提供护理服务的可行性。两项研究均使用了通过384 kbit/s的ISDN线路连接的设备。在第一项研究中，未进行任何会诊、护理计划或评估。在第二项研究中，在短短两周多的时间里，通过面对面和视频会议两种方式进行了120次评估。为什么一个项目如此成功而另一个却没有？原因与所有权、规划、参与者和地点有关。对这两个项目的比较突出了确保任何远程医疗项目成功所需考虑的一些因素。
