The Influence of Telemedicine Adoption and Facility Accreditation on Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes: A Quasi-Experimental Study in Rural Colombia
The Influence of Telemedicine Adoption and Facility Accreditation on Patient Satisfaction and Outcomes: A Quasi-Experimental Study in Rural Colombia
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este estudio examina el impacto de la telemedicina en las variables de facilidad de programación, limpieza, tiempo de espera, profesionalidad y comunicación en entornos sanitarios rurales. El objetivo principal fue examinar el impacto de la innovación en los servicios de salud y la acreditación ambulatoria hospitalaria en la percepción de la calidad de la atención en Colombia. El sondeo estuvo motivado por la necesidad de analizar los retos sin parangón que afrontan las comunidades en las provincias. Estos retos incluyen el acceso limitado a la atención especializada y las largas distancias de desplazamiento hasta los centros sanitarios. Se realizo una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura para explorar la comprensión existente sobre los servicios tele médicos y sus beneficios potenciales en las zonas provinciales. El examen utilizo un planteamiento de investigación de métodos mixtos, incorporando datos cuantitativos procedentes de encuestas a pacientes y datos cualitativos de entrevistas con profesionales sanitarios. La conclusión principal destaca los beneficios potenciales de la integración de tecnologías de telemedicina y el cumplimiento de las normas de acreditación para mejorar las experiencias y la satisfacción de los pacientes, sobre todo en comunidades rurales desatendidas, con acceso limitado a recursos sanitarios. Estas conclusiones ponen de relieve el potencial de la tecnología de los servicios tele médicos como valioso instrumento para perfeccionar la prestación y el acceso a la atención sanitaria en zonas de provincia. El estudio concluye con un análisis de las implicaciones de estos resultados, así como recomendaciones para los órganos sanitarios.
