Feasibility of a Pediatric Acute Video Consultation Process Among Health Care Professionals in Primary Care in a Rural Setting: Protocol for a Prospective Validation Study
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: For years, in Catalonia and in the rest of Spain, there has been a deficit and an unequal geographical distribution of health professionals specializing in pediatrics, especially in rural areas. Among the proposals to improve this situation is the promotion of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) among users and professionals. Moreover, with the outbreak of COVID-19, the use of telehealth has become an essential tool, with an overall increase in non-face-to-face visits, including in primary care pediatrics. In this context, telemedicine, when used in primary care pediatrics, can be an effective means of improving families' access to medical care. Currently, in Catalonia, telemedicine involving patients and health professionals is used in pediatric primary care through telephone consultation and asynchronous teleconsultation (eConsulta). Video consultation is in practice not used, although it could have different applications. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a video consultation process with physical examination in acute pediatric pathology in rural areas among primary care professionals. In addition, the level of satisfaction with these remote consultations will be assessed from the perspective of both the users and the health care professionals. METHODS: We will conduct a prospective experimental study to analyze the possibility of using video consultation in pediatric acute care in primary care in central Catalonia (Spain). A minimum of 170 children aged between 0 and 14 years attending the primary care center (PCC) for acute illness for a period of 1 year will be included in the study. Initially, the telemetric visit, including a physical examination, will include a nurse at the patient and family's side and a pediatrician who will participate remotely. Subsequently, the pediatrician will visit the patient in person and the physical examination and diagnosis made during the remote visit will be compared with the physical examination and diagnosis of the face-to-face visit, which is considered the gold standard. RESULTS: Recruitment was planned to begin in the second half of 2023 and continue for at least 1 year. It is anticipated to be a good resource for a variety of acute pediatric conditions in primary care. The evaluation will focus on the feasibility of performing live remote visits and comparing their diagnostic accuracy with that of face-to-face visits. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that this study could provide evidence on the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of video consultation in pediatric acute primary care in a rural setting, as well as on satisfaction with video consultations among both users and professionals. If proven useful in addressing the acute needs of children in a variety of situations, it could become a digital health tool that improves the overall pediatric primary care service in rural areas, for both families and professionals.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
