Abstract

With the rapid development of telemedicine equipment and information communication technology, telemedicine has developed rapidly and is used widely around the world as a new mode of medical service. This new technology has been used widely in China and has benefited a large number of patients. Due to the hospital-centric structure in health sector, resources and patients became increasingly concentrated in hospitals instead of primary care. In this way, telemedicine is a crucial method for government to the inequality of medical resources between urban and rural areas. But little is known about the influence of telemedicine on public primary hospitals in China. The objective of this study is to review the influence of telemedicine on capacity development of respiratory department in public primary hospital in China. A scoping review was conducted using electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Google Scholar. Telemedicine has a major impact on the establishment of a complete national health system. The immediate sharing of medical information effectively alleviates the situation of serious information imbalance between doctors and patients. It also guides the public to make rational choice of medical behaviour. In public emergencies, telemedicine can quickly concentrate all kinds of high-quality medical resources to the sites, ensure the safety of people's lives, and provide effective rescue and treatment for the wounded in various special environments. It is conducive to giving full play to the market competition value of public hospital reputation, encouraging hospitals to continuously improve medical technology level, improving medical service quality, actively taking social medical and health responsibility, and this could promote the overall medical and health capacities development.

远程医疗对中国公立基层医院能力建设的影响:范围综述
随着远程医疗设备和信息通信技术的飞速发展,远程医疗作为一种新型的医疗服务模式在世界范围内得到了迅速发展和广泛应用。这项新技术在中国得到了广泛应用,并使大量患者受益。由于卫生部门以医院为中心的结构,资源和病人越来越多地集中在医院,而不是初级保健。因此,远程医疗是政府解决城乡医疗资源不平等问题的重要手段。但人们对远程医疗对中国公立基层医院的影响知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨远程医疗对中国公立基层医院呼吸科能力发展的影响。使用PubMed、Cochrane Library、EMBASE和谷歌Scholar等电子数据库进行范围综述。远程医疗对建立完整的国家卫生体系具有重大影响。医疗信息的即时共享,有效缓解了医患之间严重的信息失衡局面。引导公众理性选择医疗行为。在突发公共事件中,远程医疗可以快速将各类优质医疗资源集中到现场,保障人们的生命安全,为各种特殊环境下的伤员提供有效的救治。有利于充分发挥公立医院声誉的市场竞争价值,鼓励医院不断提高医疗技术水平,提高医疗服务质量,积极承担社会医疗卫生责任,促进整体医疗卫生能力发展。
