OBJECTIVE

To analyze the work of regional telemedicine center for the period 2018—2020 including new coronavirus infection pandemic.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A continuous study has been carried out for the period 2018—2020. There were 13.444 telemedical consultations for population of the Astrakhan region including 2.296 regarding high-tech medical care. The following methods were used: monographic, statistical, logical and systems analysis. We applied absolute values, extensive parameters modeling structure and time series with subsequent analysis.

RESULTS

There is a significant increase in the number of telemedical consultations from 1.529 to 5.759 (3.8 times) over the period from 2018 to 2020. The number of telemedical consultations increased by 6 times at the federal level (from 208 in 2018 to 1.265 in 2020). In 2020, the number of consultations for high-tech medical care decreased that was associated with re-profiling of the leading regional hospital into a specialized center for the treatment of patients with a new coronavirus infection and significant decrease in the number of consultations during restrictive measures.

CONCLUSION

Telemedical technologies improve availability of medical care, reduce the risk of medical errors and facilitate early detection of diseases.
