The Health Services in San Luis Potosí carry out remote consultation work to avoid saturation in hospitals and avoid long transfers of patients throughout the state.
The Telehealth program in the state of San Luis Potosí aims to bring specialized medicine services closer to remote communities through telemedicine and technological support.
From January to date, they have made more than a thousand consultations of specialty services in locations throughout the state. In 2020, the state of San Luis reported that they provided 1,138 remote consultations, so this year they seek to double that number.
They currently have four medical specialties: internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology and surgery. In addition to various subspecialties such as neurology, perinatology, pediatric neurology, and others.
The specialty team has 28 units to carry out videoconferences distributed in five general hospitals, a psychiatric clinic, eight basic community hospitals, 11 health centers and the central hospital.
On the other hand, the state health services implemented a pilot program to schedule appointments with specialists from the Central Hospital. This strategy seeks that, through mobile phones, waiting times are reduced when scheduling appointments.
