"The doctor is nearby." Free telemedicine became available to Lipchans
Since March, residents of the Lipetsk region can turn to general practitioners without leaving their homes. Remote consultations are included in the system of compulsory medical insurance (CHI), and therefore are free of charge. Doctors of the medical company "Doctor near" conduct online receptions.
The Health Department of the Lipetsk region and the telemedicine service "Doctor Near", which is part of the VEBVentures portfolio, provided Lipchans with the opportunity to receive remote medical consultations.
"This step made it possible to reduce the burden on internists, reduce the live waiting lists in medical institutions, and thus make medicine more accessible and reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus, "says the chief doctor of the Lipetsk City Polyclinic No. 4, Fateeva O. V.
Patients of 29 polyclinics and hospitals in the region can receive remote medical consultation.
Online consultations can be received by patients with ARVI or COVID-19 who have passed the initial face-to-face appointment and examinations and who have already been diagnosed. Dynamic monitoring of the condition of patients with chronic diseases will also be carried out online. In other words, you can remotely undergo repeated appointments and maintain communication with the therapist.
"You don't always want to go to a polyclinic, especially during a pandemic, at the moment this is the most convenient way to communicate with a doctor that you could think of. Convenient, comfortable and high-quality" - Elena Khalturina shares her impressions after the online video consultation.
"The inclusion of remote medical consultations in the MHI system will allow residents of the Lipetsk region to receive high-quality medical care, regardless of their location. This service is becoming more and more popular in our country. The integration of telemedicine into the system of compulsory health insurance is an important step in the development of healthcare, " said Denis Shvetsov, General Director of Doctor Near.
"Doctor Next has already increased the availability of online consultations with doctors in many regions of Russia – for example, in Sakhalin, Tatarstan, Nizhny Novgorod, Ulyanovsk, Kaluga regions, and Krasnodar Territory. Last year, about 5 million people used the service. The level of trust in remote communication with doctors continues to grow after the pandemic. We are pleased that the joint initiative of the Doctor of Medicine and the regional authorities simplifies the interaction between doctors and patients, as well as contributes to the professional development of medical staff, " commented Oleg Teplov, CEO of Vebventures.
You can learn more about telemedicine services for CHI in the polyclinics and hospitals participating in the project. More information about telemedicine services for CHI will be provided by attending physicians during an in-person appointment or as part of a home visit. For patients, there are also memos with a detailed description of the algorithm for obtaining remote medical care. This information is available on the official website and social networks of the Health Department of the Lipetsk region, as well as on the online resources of hospitals and polyclinics in the region.
