A Telemedicine project was initiated to evaluate the usefulness of medical teleconsultations in Iceland and to gain experience for further planning of Telemedicine in the country.
The consultations were based on videoconference and store and forward method. Electronic stethoscope, spirometry, otoendoscope and digital pictures were used along with conventional videoconsultations. Doctors in six specialties in Landspitali University Hospital and one in private practice and Primary Care Physicians from five Health Care Centers in Iceland participated in the project.
The results show that the Telemedicine consultations is practical and can be very useful. The doctors were content with the use of Telemedicine and the patients were pleased with the technique and the consults in general. All patients for example said that the consultation was just as or even better as if the specialist was in the room in person. The use of Telemedicine was helpful in almost all of the cases. Attention must be paid to organization of the consultations, payment, technical details and knowledge.
Telemedicine have a role for Icelandic healthcare and may prove to be very useful. There are a number of factors who need preparation before the implementation of a Telemedicine service.
启动了一个远程医疗项目，以评估冰岛医疗远程会诊的实用性，并为该国远程医疗的进一步规划积累经验。
会诊基于视频会议以及存储转发方法。除了传统的视频会诊外，还使用了电子听诊器、肺活量测定仪、耳内镜和数码照片。冰岛Landspitali大学医院六个专科的医生、一名私人执业医生以及来自冰岛五个医疗保健中心的初级保健医生参与了该项目。
结果表明，远程医疗会诊切实可行且非常有用。医生对远程医疗的使用感到满意，患者总体上对该技术和会诊也很满意。例如，所有患者都说会诊与专家亲自在房间里一样好甚至更好。远程医疗的使用在几乎所有病例中都很有帮助。必须注意会诊的组织、支付、技术细节和知识。
远程医疗在冰岛医疗保健中具有作用，可能会被证明非常有用。在实施远程医疗服务之前，有许多因素需要做好准备。
