A group of physicians from the Salvador Zubir\u00e1n National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition (INCMNSZ) conducted telemedicine testing for cancer and low-income patients, consultations offered psychological care and palliative care.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

INCMNSZ, one of Mexico's largest health institutions, was converted into a COVID-19 hospital on March 20, 2020, when the federal government began the hospital conversion strategy. Patients with active cancer treatments were able to continue their clinical visits and treatments, however, other types of care were discontinued. Previously, this group of researchers found in telemedicine and the use of digital platforms a critical tool to provide clinical services remotely. The strategy was to transform the multidisciplinary palliative care program into a telemedicine program for cancer patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The research group conducted telemedicine tests through video calling consultations for low-income patients. Teleconsulting included psychological care, pain and symptom management, and nutrition care. The results of the research were published in The Oncologist, under the title \u201cProviding Supportive and Palliative Care Using Telemedicine for Patients with Advanced Cancer During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mexico\u201d, in the article detailing that there were 45 participants with an average age of 68 years, who were given a thousand 563 care through telemedicine. Of these interventions the most common were psychological with 33% and pain and symptom control with 25%.<\/p>

However, INCMNSZ, implemented since 2018 the palliative care program \u201cTe Acompa\u00f1amos\u201d, which, until the hospital conversion of the Institute, had treated 337 patients with advanced cancer, so it was taken as the basis for this new project, which led to a rapid advance in distance care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In general, telemedicine interventions were received positively, despite the barriers encountered. The article suggests that telemedicine may work in Mexico, even though patients must have electronic devices and Internet access, however, more than 90% of Mexicans have a smartphone. This is the case with this study, in which most of the interventions were received by patients through videoconferences by a smartphone.<\/p>

\u201cImplementing a supportive and palliative care telemedicine program for patients with advanced cancer during theCOVID-19 pandemic is feasible in low- and middle-income countries using readily available resources. Telemedicine rep-resents an excellent method to maintain care continuity for patients with high symptom burden while limiting the risk of contagion for both patients and providers\u201d.<\/p>

Un grupo de m\u00e9dicos pertenecientes al Instituto Nacional de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas y Nutrici\u00f3n Salvador Zubir\u00e1n (INCMNSZ), realiz\u00f3 pruebas a trav\u00e9s de telemedicina para pacientes de c\u00e1ncer y de bajos recursos, las consultas ofrecieron atenci\u00f3n psicol\u00f3gica y cuidados paliativos. El INCMNSZ, una de las instituciones de salud m\u00e1s importantes de M\u00e9xico, fue convertido en hospital COVID-19 el 20 de marzo del 2020, cuando el gobierno federal comenz\u00f3 con la estrategia de reconversi\u00f3n hospitalaria. Los pacientes con tratamientos de c\u00e1ncer activos pudieron continuar con sus visitas cl\u00ednicas y tratamientos, sin embargo, otro tipo de atenciones fueron suspendidas. Antes ello este grupo de investigadores encontraron en la telemedicina y la utilizaci\u00f3n de plataformas digitales una herramienta cr\u00edtica para proveer servicios cl\u00ednicos a distancia. La estrategia consisti\u00f3 en transformar al programa multidisciplinario de cuidados paliativos en un programa de telemedicina para pacientes con c\u00e1ncer. El grupo de investigaci\u00f3n, realiz\u00f3 pruebas de telemedicina a trav\u00e9s de consultas por videollamada a pacientes de bajos recursos. Las teleconsultas incluyeron atenci\u00f3n psicol\u00f3gica, control de dolor y de s\u00edntomas y atenci\u00f3n en nutrici\u00f3n. Los resultados de la investigaci\u00f3n fueron publicados en The Oncologist, bajo el t\u00edtulo de \u201cBrindar cuidados paliativos y de apoyo mediante la telemedicina para pacientes con c\u00e1ncer avanzado durante la pandemia COVID-19 en M\u00e9xico\u201d, en el art\u00edculo detallaron que fueron 45 participantes con una edad media de 68 a\u00f1os, a quienes se les brindaron mil 563 atenciones a trav\u00e9s de telemedicina. De estas intervenciones las m\u00e1s comunes fueron la psicol\u00f3gica con 33% y dolor y control de s\u00edntomas con 25%. Sin embargo, el INCMNSZ, implement\u00f3 desde el 2018 el programa de cuidados paliativos \u201cTe Acompa\u00f1amos\u201d, que, hasta la reconversi\u00f3n hospitalaria del Instituto, hab\u00eda atendido a 337 pacientes con c\u00e1ncer avanzado, por lo que fue tomado como base para este nuevo proyecto, lo que propici\u00f3 un avance r\u00e1pido en la atenci\u00f3n a distancia. En general las intervenciones en telemedicina fueron recibidas de manera positiva, a pesar de las barreras encontradas. El articulo sugiere que la telemedicina puede funcionar en M\u00e9xico, a pesar de que los pacientes deben contar con dispositivos electr\u00f3nicos y acceso a Internet, sin embargo, m\u00e1s del 90% de los mexicanos cuentan con un tel\u00e9fono inteligente. Es el caso con este estudio, en el que la mayor\u00eda de las intervenciones fueron recibidas por pacientes a trav\u00e9s de videoconferencias por un smartphone. \u201cLa implementaci\u00f3n de un programa de telemedicina de cuidados paliativos y de apoyo para pacientes con c\u00e1ncer avanzado durante la pandemia COVID-19 es factible en pa\u00edses de ingresos bajos y medianos utilizando recursos f\u00e1cilmente disponibles. La telemedicina representa un m\u00e9todo excelente para mantener la continuidad de la atenci\u00f3n de los pacientes con una gran carga de s\u00edntomas, al tiempo que limita el riesgo de contagio tanto para los pacientes como para los proveedores\u201d, concluye el estudio.
