USE OF TELE-MEDICINE IN PRE-HOSPITAL EMERGENCY HEALTHCARE

Öz

In these years when we are in the age of information and technology, the rapid development of communication technologies causes radical changes people’s cultural, social, educational and health needs. When we look at the field of medicine, new concepts have emerged as a result of the changes and developments. Tele-medicine is one of these concepts. Telemedicine; is defined as the use of electronic information and communication technologies in order to ensure the continuity, support and continuity of medical services when and where geographical differences are a problem. These technologies eliminate the concept of time and distance in case response in EMS and equalize geographical differences. Thanks to the tele-medicine used while providing services in EMS in Turkey and in the world, service provision becomes more practical and it is beneficial in terms of time. With this study, it is aimed to explain that integrating the tele-medicine system into the EMS can provide maximum benefit in the intervention of the sick and injured. The study is important in terms of shortening the appropriate treatment process that the patient-injured must reach, and thus showing that irreversible damage can be prevented thanks to tele-medicine.

HASTANE ÖNCESİ ACİL SAĞLIK HİZMETLERİNDE TELETIP KULLANIMI

Öz

Bilgi ve teknoloji çağında olduğumuz bu yıllarda, iletişim teknolojilerinin hızla gelişmesi insanların kültürel, sosyal, eğitim ve sağlık alanlarındaki ihtiyaçlarında köklü değişimlere sebep olmaktadır. Tıp alanına baktığımızda yaşanan değişim ve gelişmeler sonucu yeni kavramlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Tele-tıp bu kavramların başında gelmektedir. Tele-tıp; coğrafi farkların sorun olduğu zaman ve mekanlarda tıp hizmetinin aksamaması, desteklenmesi ve devamlılığının sağlanması için elektronik bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin kullanılması olarak tanımlanır. Bu teknolojiler EMS’de vaka müdahalesinde zaman ve mesafe kavramını ortadan kaldırmakta coğrafi farklılıkları eşitlemektedir. Türkiye ve dünyada EMS’de hizmet verirken kullanılan tele-tıp sayesinde hizmet sunumu daha pratik hale gelmekte ve zaman açısından fayda görülmektedir. Bu çalışma ile tele-tıp sisteminin EMS sistemine entegre edilmesinin hasta ve yaralılara müdahalede maximum yarar sağlayabileceği anlatılmak amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma tele-tıp sayesinde hasta-yaralının ulaşması gereken uygun tedavi sürecinin kısaltılabilmesi ve bu sayede geri dönüşümsüz hasarların önlenebileceğinin gösterilmesi açısından önemlidir.
