  • Adoption of Routine Telemedicine in Norway: the Current Picture
    Global Health Action æ ORIGINAL ARTICLE Adoption of routine telemedicine in Norway: the current picture Paolo Zanaboni1*, Undine Knarvik1 and Richard Wootton1,2 1Norwegian Centre for Integrated Care and Telemedicine, University Hospital of North Norway, Tromsø, Norway; 2Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Tromsø, Tromsø, Norway Background: Telemedicine appears to be ready for wider adoption. Although existing research evidence is useful, the adoption of routine telemedicine in healthcare systems has been slow. Objective: We conducted a study to explore the current use of routine telemedicine in Norway, at national, regional, and local levels, to provide objective and up-to-date information and to estimate the potential for wider adoption of telemedicine. Design: A top-down approach was used to collect official data on the national use of telemedicine from the Norwegian Patient Register. A bottom-up approach was used to collect complementary information on the routine use of telemedicine through a survey conducted at the five largest publicly funded hospitals. Results: Results show that routine telemedicine has been adopted in all health regions in Norway and in 68% of hospitals. Despite being widely adopted, the current level of use of telemedicine is low compared to the number of face-to-face visits. Examples of routine telemedicine can be found in several clinical specialties. Most services connect different hospitals in secondary care, and they are mostly delivered as teleconsultations via videoconference. Conclusions: Routine telemedicine in Norway has been widely adopted, probably for geographical reasons, as in other settings. However, the level of use of telemedicine in Norway is rather low, and it has significant potential for further development as an alternative to face-to-face outpatient visits.

Foreword, Northern Norway RHA Norwegian antenatal and maternity care is of high international quality. Considerable efforts have gone into developing a comprehensive maternity care since the submission of Report No 12 to the Storting (2008–2009) - En gledelig begivenhet (‘A happy event’ - in Norwegian only) and the publication of the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s guide Et trygt fødetilbud (‘Safe maternity services’ - in Norwegian only). The guide and the subsequent regional discipline plans have provided a basis for developing even better described and more predictable maternity care. The quality requirements have been clarified and the requirements that apply to maternity units have been specified. Cooperation between specialist communities across institutional boundaries have helped to develop more uniform and medically documented practices. It is therefore pleasing, and perhaps also expected, that SKDE’s eighth healthcare atlas shows that overall, mothers and babies receive good and equitable health services throughout pregnancy and childbirth. This is primarily important to the women and the babies born, as it allows them to feel safe before the most important event in life.
