Salute - Lausitz riceve finanziamento per aiuti medici via video
The Lausitz region will receive approximately 650,000 Euro in funding from the Federal Government for enhancing healthcare services through telemedicine - medical assistance via video. In the districts of Dahme-Spreewald, Elbe-Elster, Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Spree-Neiße, and Cottbus, all emergency vehicles, including 100 ambulances, will be equipped with tablets and software, as announced by the Potsdam State Chancellery.
This enables patient data to be transmitted to a Tele-Notary doctor in the control room and the Medical University of Lausitz - Carl Thiem during emergency responses. If the situation is critical, a doctor can order treatment and medication. The finanziamento (funding) comes from the Federal Government for structural support following the exit from lignite.
Expansion of the project
"Every person, regardless of their place of residence, should have access to high-quality healthcare services and receive competent medical help promptly," said State Chancellor Kathrin Schneider (SPD). "Telemedicina can save lives."
Two years ago, a pilot project was initiated in the Spree-Neiße district. The use of digital technology in emergency services is now to be expanded to the entire Lausitz control center. In the future, 20-30% of emergency doctor responses are to be digital, which corresponds to 25,000 emergency doctor responses in the Lausitz control center area. For this, 15 doctors are to be trained as Tele-Notaries.
Should the project be successful in Lausitz, plans are to extend it to all control centers and emergency services across the Brandenburg district.
The funding for this project primarily comes from the Federal Government's grants for structural support post-lignite exit, specifically in the Lausitz region.
The pilot project for telemedicine in the Spree-Neiße district, initiated two years ago, has shown promising results and will now be expanded to the entire Lausitz control center.
The implementation in the Lausitz control center aims to have digital technology incorporated into 20-30% of emergency doctor responses, equating to approximately 25,000 responses in the area.
This expansion will require training for 15 doctors to become Tele-Notaries, capable of providing medical assistance via video during emergencies.
Should the project prove successful in Lausitz, plans are to extend it to all control centers and emergency services across the Brandenburg district, significantly enhancing healthcare accessibility in Dahme-Spreewald, Elbe-Elster, Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Spree-Neiße, and Cottbus.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that residents in remote areas, such as those in Dahme-Spreewald, Elbe-Elster, Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Spree-Neiße, and Cottbus, have equal opportunities for high-quality healthcare and prompt medical attention, benefiting the people of Lusatia.
