BRIDGING THE GAP IN EMERGENCY CARE THROUGH THE IMPACT OF TELEMEDICINE ON PATIENT OUTCOMES IN REMOTE REGIONS

Authors:

Abstract:

A total of 1115 patients who received emergency medical services between 2015 and 2020 were included in the study. These patients were divided into two groups: the traditional group (527 patients who received standard emergency medical services from 2015 to 2018 and the telemedicine group (588 patients who received additional remote consultative support via telemedicine from 2018 to 2020. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression, ROC analysis, and independent-samples tests were employed to identify key predictors of critical conditions and to assess the effectiveness of telemedicine in patient management. According to the results, 496 patients were identified as having a high likelihood of needing telemedicine. The results of the study demonstrated that telemedicine significantly enhances the management of critical emergencies in rural areas, leading to improved patient outcomes. These findings underscore the potential for telemedicine to transform healthcare, particularly in resource-limited settings.
