We have begun a randomized study of tele-ophthalmology. General practitioners in two participating health centres in the Negev region of Israel, serving a local population of 40,000, were invited to participate. The study group consisted of 50 consecutive patients attending the general eye outpatient clinic and 50 consecutive patients suffering from various retinal diseases attending a hospital outpatient clinic. The initial assessment was carried out via the tele-ophthalmology system. There was then a face-to-face re-examination of the same patients, in randomized order, by the same ophthalmologist on the same day, at an outpatient ophthalmology clinic.
我们已经开始了一项远程眼科的随机研究。邀请了以色列内盖夫地区两个参与研究的健康中心的全科医生参与,这两个中心服务于当地4万人口。研究组由连续50名到普通眼科门诊就诊的患者以及连续50名到医院门诊就诊的患有各种视网膜疾病的患者组成。初始评估通过远程眼科系统进行。然后,由同一位眼科医生在同一天,在眼科门诊以随机顺序对这些患者进行面对面的复查。
