Preliminary exploration of theory and practice training of 5G ultrasonic remote consultation in grassroot hospitals

Abstract

Background With the rapid development of science and technology, telemedicine diagnosis and treatment systems have gradually attracted increased attention and applications.5G ultrasound is an important branch of telemedicine, connecting grassroots hospitals at one end and provincal hospitals at the other, which provides remote guidance to grassroots doctors for ultrasound examination and image diagnosis. It is convenient for villagers obtaining diagnosis and advice from provincial ultrasound experts, saving time and economic costs, as well as benefiting from high-quality ultrasound medical resources. In this study, taishun County community grassroot hospitals were selected as the pilot study of 5G ultrasound application, to explore the effectiveness of their theory and practice, and gradually improve the remote ultrasound diagnosis and treatment standards, so as to improve their quality of grassroots hospitals and benefit grassroots people. Methods This is a descriptive study. The Provincal Hospital will conduct ultrasonic theory and practice training for grassroot hospitals. The training subjects included 43 doctors in grassroots hospitals who were willing to carry out ultrasound examinations. Theories, skills training scores and trainees' questionnaires on teaching content were collected and analyzed. After passing theoretical and practical training, they will conduct ultrasound examinations in their respective communities and collect relevant cases. There are 148 cases thus far for analysis. It mainly included the type of disease, whether the patient was out-patient or inpatient, frequency of ultrasound visits in recent 5 years, and follow-up treatment measures. Results It mainly included three aspects: (1) Through theoretical and practical training, the ultrasonic diagnosis level of grassroot doctors was significantly improved. The difference in scores between the two practical trainings was statistically significant. (2) Forty-three questionnaires were sent out, feedback from trainees was very high. Most of them was very satisfied with our training. The total score of the questionnaire was 10, and 97.67% of them score more than 8. (3) In total, there were 148 remote consultation cases, including 67 males and 81 females, who were aged 21 to 101 years old (62.40 ± 15.73).mainly abdominal ultrasound, and typical cases involve fatty liver, hepatic cyst, gallbladder stone, kidney stone and so on. We analyzed case data and provided follow-up treatment recommendations. Conclusion As a “visual apparatus”, 5G ultrasound can be routinely carried out in grassroot hospitals, which can provide mutual benefit between doctors and patients and comprehensively promote healthy villages.

Complaint management system and patient satisfaction in grassroots hospitals

“…Primary healthcare institutions typically refer to the most basic level in the healthcare system, also known as community hospitals, county-level hospitals, or rural hospitals. [9] These healthcare facilities are located at the grassroots level in urban or rural areas, providing essential medical services and offering residents routine diagnostic, treatment, and preventive healthcare services. Primary healthcare institutions play a crucial role in the overall healthcare system, delivering basic medical services for common and prevalent diseases, including preliminary diagnosis, medication, and simple medical examinations.…”

Effectiveness and feasibility of 5G-based remote interactive ultrasound training in critical care

“…All of this can also make the cost of the training excessively high. However, with the emergence and popularization of 5G technology and cloud computing, which solve problems related to network delays, storage, and difficulties in sharing information, remote ultrasound based on 5G cloud platforms is gradually being used in clinical applications [ 3 , 16 , 17 ]. This studyuseda5G remote visualization technology training system to provide trainees with standardized critical care ultrasound imaging training.…”

Clinical Significance of Action Research-Based Seamless Care to Improve Imaging Efficiency and Patients’ Cognition, and Alleviate Patient Anxiety

“…The problems identified during nursing care were solved in practice, and the nursing process was further standardized. 24 , 25 First, health education for patients can reduce the occurrence of prolonged, interrupted, or postponed examinations due to the unfamiliarity of patients with examination-related contents. Secondly, the nursing staff provided proper post-examination care to ensure a smooth transition between patients with pre- and post-examination.…”
