Category: Healthcare Delivery Introduction/Purpose: Telehealth and telemedicine are at the heart of healthcare Vision for several countries including Canada, U.S.A, Scotland, etc; and and the aim is to use technologies to transform the way health and is delivered. Deployed thoughtfully and carefully, telehealth and telecare can help generate efficiencies through more flexible use of our workforce capacity and by reducing travel and minimising access delays. In line with this we wanted to use telemedicine for doing preoperative consultations for elective foot/ankle and lower limb arthroplasty procedures in patients referred from remote parts of the country to our hospital. The purpose of our study was to prove that telemedicine clinics (or Tele clinics) are just as safe, effective and satisfactory as face to face interactions between doctors and their patients. Methods: Two studies were conducted at this hospital between 2015-16. The first was a prospective pilot study of 50 new patients who were all seen using two different consultation rooms; with the patient along with a physiotherapist in one room, and the surgeon in another. Patients were seen via the Telemedicine unit without being aware that the surgeon was in the same building, and were then asked to rate their experience. The unanimous positive feedback received from this pilot study encouraged us to start using Tele clinics for initial consultations on a regular basis. The second study is a retrospective analysis of the safety and quality of the Tele clinics during a twelve months period. Results: 4 surgeons saw 320 patients in the Tele clinics over the study period of 12 months for foot/ankle as well as lower limb arthroplasty conditions. The number of patients who required surgery and the number of additional investigations carried out were similar to the ones from regular clinics. Feedback from patients remained very high for the Tele-clinics. Conclusion: Tele-clinics are largely used for reviewing patients after surgery. Our study shows that Tele-clinics can also be used for initial consultation for routine orthopaedic conditions, and are as safe and effective as face to face consultations. This provides an opportunity to treat patients in new ways and help manage rising costs and demand.
