This case study reports on the utilization of telemedicine to support the management of the burns treatment in the islands of Sao Tome and Principe by Taipei Medical University-affiliated hospital in Taiwan. The authors share experiences about usage of telemedicine to support treatment of the burn victims in a low-income country that receive reconstructive surgery in a developed country. Throughout the entire care process, telemedicine has been used not only to provide an expert advice from distance but also to help establish and maintain the doctor-patient relationship, to keep patients in contact with their families, and to help educate and consult the medical personal physically present in Sao Tome and Principe. This case study presents the details of how this process has been conducted to date, on what were learned from this process, and on issues that should be considered to improve this process in the future. The authors plan to create instructional videos and post them on YouTube to aid clinical workers providing similar treatment during the acute care and rehabilitation process and also to support eLearning in many situations where it otherwise is not possible to use videoconferencing to establish real-time contact between doctors at the local site and remote specialists.
本案例研究报告了台湾台北医学大学附属医院利用远程医疗支持圣多美和普林西比岛烧伤治疗管理的情况。作者分享了在低收入国家利用远程医疗支持烧伤受害者在发达国家接受重建手术治疗的经验。在整个护理过程中，远程医疗不仅用于远程提供专家建议，还用于帮助建立和维持医患关系、使患者与家人保持联系，以及帮助对圣多美和普林西比当地的医护人员进行教育和咨询。本案例研究介绍了迄今为止这一过程的开展细节、从该过程中学到的经验，以及未来改进这一过程应考虑的问题。作者计划制作教学视频并发布在YouTube上，以帮助临床工作者在急性护理和康复过程中提供类似治疗，同时在许多无法使用视频会议在当地医生和远程专家之间建立实时联系的情况下支持电子学习。
