Radiologist shortages and lack of access to radiology services are common issues in low- and middle-income countries around the world. Teleradiology offers radiologists an opportunity to contribute to global health and support hospital systems in low-resource regions remotely. Challenges can occur when determining how to integrate the new remote worklist, how radiologists will view and report exams, and how a US host site can ensure safety and privacy across the different systems. In this manuscript, we describe our experience integrating exams performed at a remote hospital system in Ethiopia into a routine radiology worklist in the USA.
放射科医生短缺以及难以获得放射科服务是全球低收入和中等收入国家普遍存在的问题。远程放射学为放射科医生提供了一个为全球健康做出贡献并远程支持资源匮乏地区医院系统的机会。在确定如何整合新的远程工作列表、放射科医生将如何查看和报告检查结果以及美国主办机构如何确保不同系统之间的安全和隐私时,可能会出现挑战。在本手稿中,我们描述了将在埃塞俄比亚远程医院系统进行的检查整合到美国常规放射科工作列表中的经验。
