Concept and development of a telemedical supervision system for anesthesiology in operating rooms using the interoperable communication standard ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC.

Objectives: Discussion of a telemedical supervision system for anesthesiology in the operating room using the interoperable communication protocol SDC. Validation of a first conceptual demonstrator and highlight of strengths and weaknesses.

Methods: The system includes relevant medical devices, a central anesthesia workstation (AN-WS), and a remote supervision workstation (SV-WS) and the concept uses the interoperability standard ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC.

Telemedicine in civil protection: A controlled simulation study for the analysis of patient care.

Objectives: More and more disasters are occurring and there will be an increasing shortage of physicians in the future. Telemedicine could be a solution here to offer medical care despite the lack of physicians in the area of operation. This study analyzes whether telemedicine for lower-qualified paramedics is comparable to conventional disaster medicine.

Long-Term Adoption of Televisits in Nursing Homes During the COVID-19 Crisis and Following Up Into the Postpandemic Setting: Mixed Methods Study.

Background: There is growing evidence that telemedicine can improve the access to and quality of health care for nursing home residents. However, it is still unclear how to best manage and guide the implementation process to ensure long-term adoption, especially in the context of a decline in telemedicine use after the COVID-19 crisis.

Objective: This study aims to identify and address major challenges for the implementation of televisits among residents in a nursing home, their caring nurses, and their treating general practitioners (GPs).

[Telemedical anesthesia consent - Are the patients ready for it? : A comparative requirement analysis before and during the pandemic].

Background: Comprehensive anesthesia preparation by means of the anamnesis and physical examination is considered an essential part of the quality criteria for anesthesia. Especially due to the shortage of specialists, there are usually long waiting times in anesthesia outpatient departments and patients must frequently return in cases of missing or pending findings. Telemedicine already offers alternatives in the context of video communication.
