Digitalization and patient empowerment result in new requirements and challenges. In response, the module "Clinical Telemedicine/e-Health" was implemented by the Faculty of Medicine of Zurich in 2008. The module was systematically evaluated to determine if the students would benefit from this course. In 2011, 2015, and 2016 further evaluations were performed.
In 2008 and 2009, students evaluated 16 statements. We calculated the combined mean value and medians for both evaluations. In 2011, the same evaluation was conducted, and the results were compared through U-test. In 2015, students were asked about the application and benefits of telemedicine; the answers were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. In 2016, the University of Zurich created an online survey which integrated three of the statements from the original evaluations.
Every mean value of the combined evaluations of 2008/2009, 2011, and 2016 achieved a score of over 4 on a 6-point scale. In 2011, and also again in 2016, the overall satisfaction and understanding of telemedicine as a supplement in traditional medical consultations increased as follows: 4.71 ± 0.74 versus 4.86 ± 0.93 versus 5.1 ± 1.5 and, respectively, 5.02 ± 0.96 versus 5.25 ± 0.81 versus 5.7 ± 0.6. In the 2015 evaluation, 93% of students indicated that they would use telemedicine for chronically ill and elderly patients.
The positive assessment of the module indicates the successful introduction of the topics of telemedicine and e-health to medical students at the University of Zurich. Throughout the course, the students gained confidence and basic skills.
数字化和患者赋权带来了新的要求和挑战。为此，苏黎世大学医学院于 2008 年开设了“临床远程医疗/电子健康”模块。该模块进行了系统评估，以确定学生是否会从该课程中受益。2011 年和 2016 年进行了进一步的评估。
2008 年和 2009 年，学生评估了 16 项陈述。我们计算了两次评估的综合平均值和中位数。2011 年进行了相同的评估，并通过 U 检验比较了结果。2015 年，学生被问及远程医疗的应用和好处；答案进行了定性和定量分析。2016 年，苏黎世大学创建了一个在线调查，其中整合了原始评估中的三个陈述。
2008/2009、2011 和 2016 年综合评估的每个平均值都在 6 分制的 4 分以上。2011 年和 2016 年，对远程医疗作为传统医疗咨询补充的总体满意度和理解都有所增加：4.71±0.74 对 4.86±0.93 对 5.1±1.5 和，分别为 5.02±0.96 对 5.25±0.81 对 5.7±0.6。在 2015 年的评估中，93%的学生表示他们将使用远程医疗为慢性病和老年患者服务。
对该模块的积极评估表明，苏黎世大学成功地向医学生介绍了远程医疗和电子健康的主题。在整个课程中，学生获得了信心和基本技能。
