Medical Center for Remote Monitoring of COVID-19 patients: organization experience and efficiency assessment

At present, the urgent task of the healthcare system is to improve the quality of medical care to the population. The need to improve the infrastructure of medical organizations is dictated by both the needs of the population and the efficient use of public resources. Preservation of labor longevity of the able-bodied population, especially those working in harmful and dangerous working conditions, requires special attention of health care systems during medical examinations, taking into account occupational risk. Automation of medical processes and the use of electronic queue systems contribute to improving the quality of medical services. The aim of the study was to study the experience of using information technologies to manage patient flows during medical examinations. The research materials were the data of a medical organization providing assistance to employees of industrial enterprises for 2019-2021, which were analyzed using modern methods of analysis. The study revealed the main features of the developed and used system for managing patient flows, and also established the positive impact of its use by reducing the time for medical examinations from several days to 3 hours a day using the resources available to the medical organization. The basic principles of the system operation made it possible, using available resources, to improve the quality of medical care, improve the medical and demographic indicators of the population attached to the medical organization, increase the number of enterprises and the population served, increase patient satisfaction with the quality of medical care, and also reduce the population's distraction from the labor process, what is most important for the employer in the development of human capital.

Background. During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote consulting and monitoring technologies began to be used in medical practice to maintain the proper level of quality of patient care, ensure the efficient use of emergency medical teams (EMT) resources in conditions of increased workload and minimize the risks of infection spread. The Tomsk Region became one of the first regions of the Russian Federation to organize on its territory a Medical center for remote monitoring of patients with COVID-19 and community–acquired pneumonia (hereinafter referred to as the Center).Aim: To assess the Center’s activities effectiveness based on the analysis of indicators of the load on the EMT service during the COVID-19 pandemic.Material and Methods. The Center’s activities effectiveness was assessed based on the analysis of the key parameters of its work, as well as the study of the dynamics of quantitative and time indicators of the load on the EMT service. The information base for the study was the daily operational data of subordinate institutions of the Department of Health of the Tomsk region in the period from 01.06.2020 to 31.12.2021.Results. The positive dynamics of quantitative and time indicators of the work EMT service after the Center’s work start the confirms effectiveness of remote monitoring of the health status of patients with COVID-19. Reducing the number of calls received by the EMT service, due to the redistribution of the “non-core” load and the routing of patients depending on the reasons for treatment and the severity of the condition, allowed to stabilize the work of the ambulance in a critical situation for the industry.Conclusion. Taking into account the proven effectiveness, the experience of the Tomsk region in creating a Center that provides remote counseling to patients with COVID-19 can be applied as a measure of adaptation of regional health systems in the event of new epidemic threats.

The article describes a methodology for developing a local network for remote monitoring of patient biomedical signals based on low-speed energy-saving ZigBee technology. The local network is based on two transmitters and one receiving module connected to the server. Transmitters transmit information from sensors about the condition of two patients (temperature, pulse, blood flow) to the on-site server. Information is displayed in a specially designed interface that is easy to visualize. In addition, audio elements are connected to the transmitting equipment to alert medical personnel if biomedical signal thresholds are exceeded. Thus, it is possible to monitor the condition of two or more patients (in one department, the number of transmitters can be in the dozens, thanks to the branched ZigBee topology). In the future, it is planned to increase the number of transmitting modules to create a large local monitoring network in a single medical institution. In addition, there is the prospect of collecting more biosignals, including ECG, body position, oxygen saturation of the patient’s blood, etc.
