The University Medical Centre Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) has developed an eczema portal that combines e-consulting, monitoring and self-management training by a dermatology nurse online for patients and parents of young children with atopic dermatitis (AD). Patient satisfaction with the portal was high. It could be extended to become a Digital Eczema Centre for multidisciplinary collaboration between health-care providers from different locations and the patient. Before starting the construction of the Digital Eczema Centre, the feasibility was examined by carrying out a business case analysis. The purposes, strength and weaknesses showed that the Digital Eczema Centre offered opportunities to improve care for patients with AD. The financial analysis resulted in a medium/best case scenario with a positive result of euro50-240,000 over a period of five years. We expect that the Digital Eczema Centre will increase the accessibility and quality of care. The web-based patient record and the digital chain-of-care promote the involvement of patients, parents and multidisciplinary teams as well as the continuity and coordination of care.
乌得勒支大学医学中心 (UMC Utrecht) 开发了一个湿疹门户，该门户结合了皮肤科护士的在线电子咨询、监测和自我管理培训，供患有特应性皮炎 (AD) 的儿童及其家长使用。患者对该门户的满意度很高。它可以扩展成为一个数字湿疹中心，用于来自不同地点的医疗保健提供者和患者之间的多学科合作。在开始构建数字湿疹中心之前，通过进行商业案例分析来检查其可行性。目的、优势和劣势表明，数字湿疹中心为改善 AD 患者的护理提供了机会。财务分析得出了中等/最佳情况方案，在五年内有 50-240,000 欧元的正收益。我们预计数字湿疹中心将提高护理的可及性和质量。基于网络的患者记录和数字护理链促进了患者、家长和多学科团队的参与，以及护理的连续性和协调性。
