Teleradiology services are increasingly integrated into the workflow of radiological departments in EU-member states.
The current technological possibilities and European political agenda are both opening the way for cross-border telemedicine services including teleradiology.
This is bringing new opportunities for both users and providers of teleradiology services, which has led to the idea of producing an updated version of earlier ESR statements and communications on teleradiology. For this purpose the e-Health and Informatics subcommittee established a Teleradiology subgroup.
This white paper proposes comprehensive best-practice guidelines for teleradiology usage, focussing on services within the European Union, as prepared by the members of the ESR teleradiology subgroup.
• Teleradiology describes the provision of radiology services remote from the site where the images are obtained. • Teleradiology should form part of and be integrated with the wide spectrum of radiology services, and not a separate tradable commodity • The quality of radiological reports and services delivered by teleradiology should not be less than those of local radiologists • International quality standards for teleradiology need to be established • Patients need to be fully informed when teleradiology is used.
远程放射学服务越来越多地融入欧盟成员国放射科的工作流程。
当前的技术可能性和欧洲政治议程都为跨境远程医疗服务(包括远程放射学)开辟了道路。
这为远程放射学服务的用户和提供者带来了新的机遇,因此产生了编写远程放射学的 ESR 早期声明和通信更新版本的想法。为此,电子卫生和信息学小组委员会成立了远程放射学分组。
本白皮书提出了全面的远程放射学使用最佳实践指南,由 ESR 远程放射学分组的成员编写,重点是欧盟内的服务。
远程放射学是指在获取图像的地点以外提供放射学服务。
远程放射学应成为放射科广泛服务的一部分并与之整合,而不是可单独交易的商品。
远程放射学提供的放射报告和服务的质量不应低于当地放射科医生的质量。
需要为远程放射学制定国际质量标准。
使用远程放射学时,患者需要充分知情。
