Peran Telemedicine Dalam Meningkatkan Kualitas Pelayanan Kesehatan Masyarakat

Abstract

Telemedicine covers a wide range of health services, allowing for the provision of care even when parties are separated by great distances. Telemedicine serves to improve the quality of health services by facilitating access to consultations and health checks, especially for people who have difficulty accessing health facilities directly. The purpose of this education is to increase public knowledge and understanding of the role of telemedicine in supporting better access to health. The method used in this community service activity is to deliver material directly to students and the community around the campus, followed by a question and answer session and evaluation of oral feedback. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the benefits of telemedicine. Most participants felt more confident in using the telemedicine application for remote consultations, although there were concerns about the accuracy of the diagnosis and direct interaction with medical personnel. The evaluation also showed that participants felt the material presented was relevant to their needs. Overall, this activity was effective in increasing public awareness of telemedicine, and further education with real case studies is needed to address existing concerns.
