Journal Title: Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis - Year 2016, Vol 70, Issue
Abstract
Nowadays, telemedicine is a rapidly developing field of medicine in Poland. The amended Act on the information system in health care, applicable from 2015, should facilitate access to e-health services for patients. The aim of the present study was to review data on the role of ICT solutions in various fields of medicine. The present review of the literature was based on peer-reviewed journal databases (PubMed, Medline, Embase, Google Scholar) and Internet sources. Publications and Internet sources, included in the current review, were published from 2008 to 2016. The development of information technology has a significant impact on the progress of telemedicine. Many countries (including Poland) provide e-health services to its citizens. The results of the study indicate that medical consultation, diagnosis and telecare can be successfully carried out at a distance. The benefits of telemedicine are significant, both to patients, people related to health professionals as well as for the payer.
