Abstract

Armenia's early adoption of telemedicine began with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaboration following the 1988 Spitak earthquake, providing critical medical support. The 2022 legalization of telemedicine by the Armenian Ministry of Health marked a significant step toward improving healthcare delivery. Current regulations only apply to doctors and lack clear terminology for different telemedicine interactions, highlighting the need for broader and more inclusive policies. Despite regulatory progress, telemedicine adoption in Armenia faces challenges such as insufficient digital literacy, infrastructure, and integration into medical education and practice.

远程医疗目前在亚美尼亚是合法的，如何使其成为常规临床实践？

亚美尼亚早期采用远程医疗始于 1988 年斯皮塔克地震后与美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的合作，提供了重要的医疗支持。2022 年，亚美尼亚卫生部将远程医疗合法化，标志着在改善医疗服务方面迈出了重要一步。目前的法规仅适用于医生，对不同的远程医疗互动缺乏明确的术语，这凸显了制定更广泛、更具包容性的政策的必要性。尽管在监管方面取得了进展，但亚美尼亚在采用远程医疗方面仍面临挑战，如数字扫盲不足、基础设施不足以及与医学教育和实践的整合不足。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Policy (JPHP) will continue its 35 year tradition: an accessible source of scholarly articles on the epidemiologic and social foundations of public health policy, rigorously edited, and progressive. JPHP aims to create a more inclusive public health policy dialogue, within nations and among them. It broadens public health policy debates beyond the ''health system'' to examine all forces and environments that impinge on the health of populations. It provides an exciting platform for airing controversy and framing policy debates - honing policies to solve new problems and unresolved old ones. JPHP welcomes unsolicited original scientific and policy contributions on all public health topics. New authors are particularly encouraged to enter debates about how to improve the health of populations and reduce health disparities.
