Telemedicinske storitve v Sloveniji

Abstract

Many telemedicine services exist in Slovenia. In time of an epidemic covid-19 become increasingly important. We are introducing results of research on extent of the telemedicine services in Slovene health care in this article. We identified fifteen solutions, already used in practice or in pilot projects. We classify them in three groups: telemonitoring, connection of patients with a physician or health worker and cooperation of physicians or health workers, that are on different locations physically. For every solution we gathered key metadata. We gathered and analysed also opinions of research participants about challenges at the telemedicine services in Slovenia. We classified them into challenges about funding, health care system and health care workers. Telemedicine is urgency and future in health care also in Slovenia. It is important, that we introduce contemporary technology and existent solutions appropriately in practice, so we create a new service usually.
