Implementation of teleconsultation in hospitals in the city of Cordoba during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
Teleconsultation is one of the assets of telemedicine that allows medical professionals to provide diagnostic or therapeutic advice to patients through electronic means. The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of teleconsultation implementation in hospitals in the city of Cordoba from 2020 to 2022. A descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study was carried out, providing an online survey (Google Forms) to hospital representatives in Córdoba. Descriptive statistics were used. The study was conducted in 30 out of the 50 hospitals in the city, including 17 private (57%) and 13 public institutions (43%). Teleconsultation was provided by a higher percentage of private healthcare facilities (82%) compared to public ones (77%). The results showed that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was the main driver behind the implementation of teleconsultation, with 92% of all hospitals having implemented it due to the pandemic while the remaining 8% had already offered this service prior to the pandemic. The most requested services were Internal Medicine and Infectology, and phone calls were the most commonly used tool. Among the hospitals that did not offer teleconsultation, 67% did not plan to do so in the future, while the remaining 33% were making arrangements for its implementation in 2023. Although the pandemic catalyzed the implementation of teleconsultations in most hospitals, there are still some institutions that do not plan to incorporate this modality. This study provides valuable data for improving future medical care strategies in the city of Cordoba.
