Telemedicine:the future trend / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

The traditional medical treatment mode is restricted by the medical level and medical resources in different regions, which results in obvious differences on the benefits of medical treatment for patients in different regions. With the development of global informationization, long-distance communication has been developing at a high speed. Telemedicine is gradually showing its advantages. Telemedicine can promote the equalization of medical level and strengthen the integration of medical resources among different regions. Telemedicine can be used in many aspects, such as the management of chronic diseases, consultation, triage, postoperative care, continuing education and so on, providing more convenient and effective medical services for patients.
