This paper reports an experience in the setting-up and evaluation of a telemedicine solution to provide an electroencephalography service between a secondary hospital placed in Calahorra (Calahorra Hospital Foundation, FHC) and a tertiary hospital placed in Logroño (San Pedro Hospital, HSP) both in La Rioja, Spain. We have evaluated technical and clinical aspects of the tele-EEG (electroencephalography) service as well as the impact over patients, health staff and hospital organization for 6 months. During this period, there have been performed a total of 116 clinical consultations. With reference to patients' opinion, 98% of them stated to be satisfied with the new tele-EEG system and 75% of them preferred it rather than the conventional one, due to they reduce traveling expenses and the total invested time in the EEG test. This new service has been also very appreciated by medical staff, who assure thanks to the tele-EEG service the access for patients to this type of clinical test is improved.
本文报告了在西班牙拉里奥哈的卡拉奥拉（卡拉奥拉医院基金会，FHC）的一家二级医院和洛格罗尼奥的一家三级医院（圣佩德罗医院，HSP）之间建立和评估远程医疗解决方案以提供脑电图服务的经验。我们对远程脑电图（EEG）服务的技术和临床方面以及对患者、医护人员和医院组织6个月的影响进行了评估。在此期间，共进行了116次临床会诊。关于患者的意见，98%的患者表示对新的远程脑电图系统感到满意，75%的患者更喜欢它而不是传统系统，因为它减少了差旅费和脑电图检查的总投入时间。这项新服务也受到了医护人员的高度赞赏，他们确保通过远程脑电图服务，患者进行此类临床检查的机会得到了改善。
