Introduction: Due to the increasing proportion of older people in the German population, the age group-specific burden of disease is also rising, which consequently leads to an escalating need for emergency medical care in the preclinical sector. Within the German health care system, the growing shortage of physicians and the associated deficit of emergency physicians are further aggravating factors, which can lead to relevant gaps in care.
Methods: Through a systematic literature search for the period from January 1, 2000 to March 1, 2023 on prehospital telemedical emergency services (tele-EMS), selected quantitative and qualitative characteristics according to the PICOS scheme and the PRISMA statement were made available as examples; these were then used to critically categorize the quality of telemedically supported emergency care in Germany.

Background: A tele-emergency medical service with a remote emergency physician for severe prehospital emergencies may overcome the increasing number of emergency calls and shortage of emergency medical service providers. We analysed whether routine use of a tele-emergency medical service is non-inferior to a conventional physician-based one in the occurrence of intervention-related adverse events.
Methods: This open-label, randomised, controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority trial included all routine severe emergency patients aged ≥ 18 years within the ground-based ambulance service of Aachen, Germany.

Current Status Of Emergency Medicine In Germany: Increasing numbers of rescue missions in recent years have led to a growing staff shortage of paramedics as well as physicians in the emergency medical system (EMS) with an urgent need for optimized usage of resources. One option is the implementation of a tele-EMS physician system, which has been established in the EMS of the City of Aachen since 2014.
Implementation Of Tele-emergency Medicine: In addition to pilot projects, political decisions lead to the introduction of tele-emergency medicine.
