The introduction of telemedicine technologies must level the geographical and time frames and considerably reduce the gap in the level of technicality and competencies of regional healthcare facilities in providing planned and emergency consultations in obstetrics.
Objective. To analyze the effectiveness of telemedicine consultations and to compare the obtained data with international experience.
Materials and methods. In January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, the V.I. Kulakov National Medical Research Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology, Ministry of Health of Russia, held 92 telemedicine consultations on the issues of anesthesiology and resuscitation. The treatment outcomes in inpatients were analyzed.
Results. The distribution by groups (obstetric diseases, extragenital diseases during pregnancy, and postoperative complications) was as follows: 32.4% (11), 23.5% (8), and 44.1% (15) in 2017; 70.2% (47), 10.5% (7), and 19.4% (13) in 2018, respectively. A total of 82 (32 and 50) conferences were held to determine treatment tactics and 9 (2 and 7) were done to agree the terms and conditions of hospitalization. The territorial coverage over 2 years amounted to 7 federal districts (the largest number of presentations came from the North Caucasus and Volga Regions) of the Russian Federation and to 36 regions (in 2018, the maximum patient visit rates were recorded in the Oryol Region, the Chechen Republic, and the Republics of Bashkortostan and Udmurtia). At the end of 2018, the most pronounced dynamic increase in visit rates was observed by nosological entities: multiple organ dysfunction and sepsis (from 23.53 to 29.85%), cardiovascular diseases (including congenital malformations; from 20.59 up to 22.38%), and severe central nervous system lesions (from 2.94 to 16.42%).
Conclusion. Telemedicine care is a promising area of healthcare organization designed to optimize the provision of medical care in the regions of Russia and to make a balanced decision to refer patients to an appropriate-level specialized institution to reduce maternal mortality.
