We investigated the feasibility of using email and videoconferencing for clinical and educational support between oncologists at the University Hospital of North Norway and colleagues at the oncology and palliative care unit of the Nordland Hospital in Bodø. During a 12-month period, 23 cases (20 patients) and four general questions were sent by email and 32 videoconferences were planned. Breast and colorectal cancer were the most frequent diagnoses (59%) in the email messages. Most cases (15/23) were treated locally. Although five videoconferences failed due to telecommunication and/or user problems, videoconferencing was still a success in the education of the remote oncologists in Bodø. The study demonstrated that telemedicine can be used to incorporate a remote palliative care unit into a university department.
我们调查了使用电子邮件和视频会议为挪威北部大学医院的肿瘤学家与博德市诺德兰医院肿瘤与姑息治疗科的同事之间提供临床和教育支持的可行性。在为期12个月的时间里，通过电子邮件发送了23个病例（20名患者）和4个一般问题，并计划了32次视频会议。乳腺癌和结直肠癌是电子邮件中最常见的诊断（59%）。大多数病例（15/23）在当地接受治疗。尽管有5次视频会议因电信和/或用户问题未能成功，但视频会议对于培训博德市的远程肿瘤学家而言仍是成功的。该研究表明，远程医疗可用于将远程姑息治疗科纳入大学科室。
