Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the construction and application of telemedicine system in Tibet Autonomous Region.Methods:From June to July 2020, medical institutions at all levels in Tibet Autonomous Region were visited. Relevant information was collected through discussion, questionnaires and field visits, and the data of effective questionnaires were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 125 medical institutions were visited, covering 7 regions of Tibet Autonomous Region, of which 74 medical institutions were able to realize audio-video two-way communication with the telemedicine platform of the PLA General Hospital. Seventy-three valid questionnaires were collected, and 64(88%)hospitals had software or hardware audio and video terminals. Twenty-five hospitals had never carried out remote consultation, accounting for 34%. The annual remote consultation amount of 35 hospitals was less than 10 cases, and that of 11 hospitals was 11-100 cases. Only 2 hospitals had carried out remote ECG and remote ultrasound diagnosis, with an annual consultation volume of more than 100 cases.Conclusions:The hospitals at or above the county level in Tibet Autonomous Region have established telemedicine system, but there are few remote services, the system idle rate is high, and the distance education resources are not matched.
