TELEMEDICINE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Background. In recent decades, various telemedicine technologies have been used in providing medical and social care. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the development of IT technologies and made telemedicine a necessity. Currently, there is a need to assess the effectiveness and effectiveness of remote treatment. The article provides an overview of the literature on the role of telemedicine in the primary health care system during the COVID-19 pandemic. Aim. To assess the role of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method. Analysis and evaluation of foreign experience in the use of telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Medline databases were used for the period from 2010 to 2022. Conclusions. The role of telemedicine in the context of the pandemic was determined and the practical option of conducting virtual assistance from foreign countries was studied. The introduction of remote technologies for medical care requires appropriate technical equipment, training and education of staff and patients, as well as the solution of certain legal and ethical issues. Despite the available evidence of effectiveness, remote technologies cannot replace the traditional approach to treatment, doctor-patient contact.
