Under the epidemic, the rapid development of Internet medical care patients can be accurately diagnosed by authoritative experts without leaving home

China News Online, March 9th (Chen Jingniu Jun) Children with kidney disease in Huangshi, Hubei, who are unable to leave the province, get a doctor's prescription online and get the medicine soon. In the Internet era, "zero-touch" follow-up consultations with experts from thousands of miles away are now a reality.

The reporter learned on the 9th that during the new crown pneumonia epidemic, telemedicine became an outbreak of demand, accelerating the development of Internet medical treatment. Shanghai is working hard to build Internet hospitals, actively promoting the construction of six Internet hospitals, and providing the public with better and diversified medical and health services. Shanghai's high-quality medical resources not only benefit the local people, but also radiate incurable patients in China.

Three years ago, Mr. Cao of Huangshi, Hubei, found his son's face and legs swollen. The child was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. He took his son to Shanghai Children's Hospital for help. After a year of diagnosis and treatment by Huang Wenyan, an expert in kidney rheumatology, the child gradually returned to normal, but he needed to take medication for a long time. Mr. Cao and his son originally planned to make an appointment for Huang Wenyan's expert outpatient review in February this year. However, the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia made it impossible for Mr. Cao to even take the door. Seeing that the stock of drugs at home had almost reached the bottom, Mr. Cao was anxious.

The Internet Hospital of Shanghai Children's Hospital went online, which made Mr. Cao's heart glow with hope. He provided the medical history, previous diagnosis records and examination reports, and the medication situation as required. After 5 minutes, the doctor Wang Ping on duty issued an online prescription; after the pharmacy department completed the prescription, the drug was delivered to logistics. What surprised Mr. Cao was that at 8 pm the next day, Huang Wenyan also called. The expert took a closer look at the child's condition and asked about the local life. Mr. Cao said: "Experts still remember my child's name and were really touched." "We attach great importance to the need for online follow-up visits to children in affected areas and hope to bring them more warmth." Huang Wenyan said.

The reporter was informed that since February 29th, the Department of Nephrology and Rheumatology of Shanghai Children's Hospital has provided medicines for follow-up visits to specialist children, and a total of 29 prescriptions have been issued, enabling patients to complete the process of medical treatment and dispensing at home. According to the hospital, during the special period of trying to block the spread of the epidemic, Internet medical care has largely solved the problem of specialist patients seeking medical treatment, and greatly eased the tension of patients under the epidemic.

Video teleconsultation is an important diagnosis and treatment method for joint clinics. It is reported that the specialists of the kidney and rheumatology department of the hospital solve the difficult problems and the diagnosis and treatment of special patients through video discussions and consultations with patients and doctors at the visiting hospital. Huang Wenyan said that through video remote consultation, not only can rare diseases be found in time and accurately; accurate diagnosis and treatment can be performed more quickly and conveniently during the epidemic.

Huang Wenyan told reporters that a 13-year-old child from Changzhou Children's Hospital who participated in the remote joint clinic made him deeply remembered. The girl was hospitalized for 3 months due to nephrotic syndrome, but the effect was not obvious. On February 25, Changzhou Children's Hospital initiated a remote video consultation application.
