“…Via this service, patients may seek medical advice by video and audio. This program would also allow people living in the most remote areas to obtain health-related consultations [28]. Recently, the medical association has introduced the requisite legislative mechanisms to encourage the universal use of telemedicine and, in a few cases, has provided recommendations on its use.…”

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan has brought terrifying effects on hospital management performance worldwide. The ultimate purpose is to generate empirical knowledge and open research opportunities into future studies. Investigating critical resourcebased factors would significantly contribute to the growing body of knowledge that informs policies and programs for mitigating the negative effects of the pandemic on the administration of Jordan's healthcare sector. To this end, we surveyed a sample of 418 managers in the Jordanian health sector. To produce numeric data and to test the hypotheses, the researchers employed structural equation modeling, specifically using the PLS-SEM technique. This study argues that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound negative impact on hospital performance in Jordan. Telemedicine, innovation, and infrastructure exhibit a significant and positive direct influence on management performance. As a result, this study accepts two hypotheses pertaining to the moderating influence of telemedicine and infrastructure in mitigating the negative consequences of COVID-19 on performance. However, the hypothesis related to the moderating role of innovation in the impact of COVID-19 on performance is rejected. The pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to the healthcare sector, necessitating the development of effective management strategies to address the surge in patient volume and resource constraints. Telemedicine and healthcare infrastructure have been identified as critical resources with a significant moderating effect on healthcare management performance during this crisis. Telemedicine, as a technology-related resource, enables remote healthcare delivery, virtual consultations, and monitoring, which have become crucial during the pandemic.

“…We developed a WebRTC-enabled medical image viewer to test the hypotheses that this architecture would yield decreased latency and improved image quality compared to screen sharing with a CVS. While a number of open source, web-based DICOM viewers have been developed, we chose to construct the image display component of our web application around a customized version of Papaya, a JavaScript DICOM viewer distributed by the Research Imaging Institute at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio [11,12]. We modified the Papaya source code to insert hooks to enable the registration of callback methods to be executed whenever the view was updated.…”

DICOM viewers must fulfill roles beyond primary diagnostic interpretation, including serving as presentation tools in teaching and multidisciplinary conferences, thereby enabling multiple individuals to review images collaboratively in real time. When in-person gathering is not possible, a variety of solutions have been deployed to maintain the ability for spatially separated users to view medical images simultaneously. These approaches differ in their backend architectures, utilization of application-specific optimizations, and ultimately in their end user satisfaction. In this work, we systematically compare the performance of conventional screensharing using a videoconferencing application with that of a custom, synchronized DICOM viewer linked using Web Real Time Communications (WebRTC) technology. We find superior performance for the WebRTC method with regard to image quality and latency across a range of simulated adverse network conditions, and we show how increasing the number of conference participants differentially affects the bandwidth requirements of the two viewing solutions. In addition, we compare these two approaches in a real-world teaching scenario and gather the feedback of trainee and faculty radiologists, who we found to favor the WebRTC method for its decreased latency, improved image quality, ease of setup, and overall experience. Ultimately, our results demonstrate the value of application-specific solutions for the remote synchronized viewing of medical imaging, which, given the recent increase in reliance on remote collaboration, may constitute a significant consideration for future enterprise viewer procurement decisions.

“…Az indiai Egészségügyi és Családügyi Minisztérium működteti. Ma a COVID-19-pandémia miatt szükséges távolságtartás fokozott relevanciát kölcsönöz a rendszernek, melyben a betegek nemcsak rövid időn belül konzultálhatnak a rendelkezésre álló orvosokkal, hanem akár a képalkotó diagnosztikai vizsgálat eredményéhez is hozzáférhetnek a távolból (Wadali et al 2020). A rendszer az internetes felületen mutatja, hogy éppen hány orvos elérhető, valamint hány percet és másodpercet kell várni a konzultációra.…”

A telemedicina a COVID–19-világjárvány alatt és miatt új arculatot nyert. A telemedicina már a COVID–19-világjárvány kitörése előtt is a legtöbb ország egészségügyi rendszerének része volt. A telemedicina jogi eszközökkel és empirikus megközelítéssel történő újra meghatározása elterjedtebbé tette annak használatát, mint korábban. A telemedicina számos előnnyel jár – nyilvánvaló hátrányai mellett. Ezen előnyök összességében véve meghaladják a lehetséges hátrányokat. Az elektronikus egészségügyi dokumentációt jogi eljárásokban olyan fontos bizonyítékként fogják használni, amely akár az egészségügyi szolgáltató kimentéséhez is vezethet. Tekintettel arra, hogy Magyarországon az egészségügyi szolgáltató a bíróság előtt egy adekvátan vezetett egészségügyi dokumentációval bizonyítani tudja, hogy az ellátásban résztvevőktől elvárható gondossággal járt el, fokozottan releváns, hogy az Elektronikus Egészségügyi Szolgáltatási Térben megfelelően vezessék azt.
