abstract: 'Non-physician clinicians (NPCs) in low and middle-income countries
|
||||
|
||||
(LMICs) often have little physical proximity to the resources-equipment,
|
||||
|
||||
supplies or skills-needed to deliver effective care, forcing them to
|
||||
|
||||
refer patients to distant sites. Unlike equipment or supplies, which
|
||||
|
||||
require dedicated supply chains, physician/specialist skills needed to
|
||||
|
||||
support NPCs can be sourced and delivered through telecommunication
|
||||
|
||||
technologies. In LMICs however, these skills are scarce and sparsely
|
||||
|
||||
distributed, making it difficult to implement commonly used real-time
|
||||
|
||||
(synchronous), hub-and-spoke telemedicine paradigms. An asynchronous
|
||||
|
||||
teleconsultations service was implemented in Turkana County, Kenya,
|
||||
|
||||
connecting NPCs with a volunteer network of remote physicians and
|
||||
|
||||
specialists. In 2017-18, the service supported over 100
|
||||
|
||||
teleconsultations and referrals across 20 primary healthcare clinics and
|
||||
|
||||
two hospitals. This qualitative study aimed to explore the impact of the
|
||||
|
||||
telemedicine intervention on health system stakeholders, and perceived
|
||||
|
||||
health-related benefits to patients. Data were collected using
|
||||
|
||||
Appreciative Inquiry, a strengths-based, positive approach to assessing
|
||||
|
||||
interventions and informing systems change. We highlight the impact of
|
||||
|
||||
provider-to-provider asynchronous teleconsultations on multiple
|
||||
|
||||
stakeholders and healthcare processes. Provider benefits include
|
||||
|
||||
improved communication and team work, increased confidence and capacity
|
||||
|
||||
to deliver services in remote sites, and professional satisfaction for
|
||||
|
||||
both NPCs and remote physicians. Health system benefits include
|
||||
|
||||
efficiency improvements through improved care coordination and avoiding
|
||||
|
||||
unnecessary referrals, and increased equity and access to
|
||||
|
||||
physician/specialist care by reducing geographical, financial and social
|
||||
|
||||
barriers. Providers and health system managers recognised several
|
||||
|
||||
non-health benefits to patients including increased trust and care
|
||||
|
||||
seeking from NPCs, and social benefits of avoiding unnecessary referrals
|
||||
|
||||
(reduced social disruption, displacement and costs). The findings reveal
|
||||
|
||||
the wider impact that modern teleconsultation services enabled by mobile
|
||||
|
||||
technologies and algorithms can have on LMIC communities and health
|
||||
|
||||
systems. The study highlights the importance of viewing
|
||||
|
||||
provider-to-provider teleconsultations as complex health service
|
||||
|
||||
delivery interventions with multiple pathways and processes that can
|
||||
|
||||
ultimately improve health outcomes.'
