Book Description
This book explains how telemedicine can offer solutions capable of improving the care and survival rates of cancer patients and can also help patients to live a normal life in spite of their condition. Different fields of application – community, hospital and home based – are examined, and detailed attention is paid to the use of tele-oncology in rural/extreme rural settings and in developing countries. The impact of new technologies and the opportunities afforded by the social web are both discussed. The concluding chapters consider eLearning in relation to cancer care and assess the scope for education to improve prevention. No medical condition can shatter people’s lives as cancer does today and the need to develop strategies to reduce the disease burden and improve quality of life is paramount. Readers will find this new volume in Springer’s TELe Health series to be a rich source of information on the important contribution that can be made by telemedicine in achieving these goals.

Book Description
As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

Book Description
The eHealth series is primarily meant for government ministries of health, information technology, and telecommunications, as well as others working in eHealth -- academics, researchers, eHealth professionals, nongovernmental organizations, and donors. The telemedicine module of the 2009 survey examined the current level of development of four fields of telemedicine: teleradiology, teledermatogy, telepathology, and telepsychology, as well as four mechanisms that facilitate the promotion and development of telemedicine solutions in the short- and long-term: the use of a national agency, national policy or strategy, scientific development, and evaluation. Telemedicine: Opportunities and Developments in Member States discusses the results of the telemedicine module, which was completed by 114 countries (59% of Member States).

Book Description
The need to promote academic activities in telehealth remains a high priority as the discipline expands into new areas of healthcare. Response during 2020 to the COVID-19 pandemic has provided an excellent example of the rapid diversification and impact attainable with telehealth, and may kindle a new momentum for accelerated service design and adoption processes in the future. This book, Telehealth Innovations in Remote Healthcare Services Delivery, is the tenth in the Global Telehealth series. Due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions placed on academic gatherings, the organizers issued a general call for contributions, with the intention of attracting a wide cross-section of contributions reflecting the breadth of different aspects of telehealth internationally. The resulting collection offers snapshots of research projects and studies of service experience from five continents, with an emphasis on delivering benefits in regional settings in keeping with the theme of the book’s title. Articles range from descriptions of telehealth networks and clinical-service instances such as cardiac health, mental health and pathology, several in Pacific-rim settings, to more generic papers on the evolution of such services, as well as commentaries on innovative considerations for telehealth such as the emergence of the concept of virtual care, the suitability of health apps, and the status of eHealth readiness in the developing world. This book is a valuable contribution to the body of knowledge on current telehealth research interests and trends, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.
Book Description
La pandémie de COVID-19 a précipité le recours à la téléconsultation. En France, elles ont été réalisées en grande majorité par des médecins généralistes. Nous avons souhaité évaluer la part des actes de téléconsultation en médecine générale au cours de l'épidémie de COVID-19 et les difficultés inhérentes à la pratique. Méthode : nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective, descriptive, transversale par la diffusion d'un questionnaire anonyme adressé à des médecins généralistes libéraux par voie courriel ou par courrier papier dans le cas des médecins non informatisés. Résultats : entre le 17 mars et le 11 mai 2020, sur les 200 questionnaires envoyés à des praticiens, 71 ont pu être analysés. Le taux de participation est de 360/0. Parmi les médecins interrogés, 460/0 pratiquaient déjà la téléconsultation avant la pandémie. 83 0/0 d'entre eux y ont eu recours pendant le confinement majoritairement pour des motifs en lien avec le COVID-19 et les pathologies respiratoires. Les difficultés rencontrées par les médecins sont classiques : problèmes d'accès à certains groupes de patients, en particulier les personnes âgées, difficultés de diagnostic, questions relatives à la responsabilité médicale et à la confidentialité, altération de la relation avec le patient. Conclusion : la téléconsultation a été utilisée massivement par les médecins généralistes de notre étude. Ils ont trouvé cette pratique intéressante, cependant l'absence d'examen clinique en est la principale limite.
