In the province of San Luis, Argentina, the primary care program created a strategy for isolation and telemedicine treatment for COVID patients with mild symptoms. <\/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

Marcela Weiher, head of the Primary Health Care Program, explained how follow-up works through telemedicine to COVID patients in the department of Juan Mart\u00edn de Pueyrred\u00f3n, the capital of the province of San Luis. \u201cThe telemedicine area is an area in the capital, which is basically dedicated to the monitoring of patients diagnosed with coronavirus considered with a course of mild disease, that is, that patient who by that clinical presentation of the disease is left at home, who represent 80% of those diagnosed by COVID\u201d.<\/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

Weiher explained that \u201cfollow-up is not only to monitor clinically through telemedicine the evolution of that patient, if any respiratory complications such as pneumonia appear to proceed to that patient to carry out the transfer to the intermediate or discharge hospital and other studies, but also to advise the patient on the care that has to be done within the home , advise the family, and also comply with the administrative procedures that this disease generates, such as labor certifications, protocols of confirmation of the disease, as an advice\u201d.<\/p>

On the other hand, Fernando Vasconi, physician of the telemedicine team explained what the telemedicine team process is like to care for patients: \u201cWe start at 8 in the morning at a work desk, where epidemiology passes us positive patients and then we start working with them by phone call or video call, even what we do is interact with all the hospitals and health center of the province to refer the patients who are in your coverage area or your area of influence.\u201d In addition, he said they work Monday through Sunday and make 100 to 150 calls a day to make contact with patients with mild symptoms and positive COVID-19 testing.<\/p>

Carlos Gim\u00e9nez, a senior in medicine, a collaborator of this telemedicine unit, explained that follow-up is not only clinical, but also delves into the particular situation of patients, their socioeconomic status, or whether they have a person who can bring the medicines home. The team also provides counselling and psychological support for patients in home through teleconsulting.<\/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

En la provincia de San Luis, Argentina, el programa de atenci\u00f3n primaria cre\u00f3 una estrategia para el aislamiento y tratamiento con telemedicina para pacientes COVID con s\u00edntomas leves. Marcela Weiher jefa del Programa de Atenci\u00f3n Primaria de la Salud, explic\u00f3 c\u00f3mo funciona el seguimiento a trav\u00e9s de telemedicina a pacientes COVID del departamento de Juan Mart\u00edn de Pueyrred\u00f3n, la capital de la provincia de San Luis. \u201cEl \u00e1rea de telemedicina es un \u00e1rea en la capital, que se dedica b\u00e1sicamente al seguimiento de los pacientes diagnosticados de coronavirus considerados con un curso de la enfermedad leve, es decir aquel paciente que por esa presentaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica de la enfermedad queda en su domicilio, quienes representan el 80% de los diagnosticados por COVID\u201d. Weiher explic\u00f3 que el seguimiento no consiste no solamente en vigilar de manera cl\u00ednica a trav\u00e9s de la telemedicina la evoluci\u00f3n de ese paciente, si aparece alguna complicaci\u00f3n respiratoria como la neumon\u00eda para proceder a ese paciente\u00a0 a realizar el traslado al hospital intermedia o alta y otro tipo de estudios, sino tambi\u00e9n\u00a0 para asesorar al paciente en el cuidado que tiene que hacer\u00a0 dentro del domicilio, asesorar a la familia, y tambi\u00e9n cumplimiento a los tr\u00e1mites administrativos que esta enfermedad genera, como las certificaciones laborales, protocolos de confirmaci\u00f3n de la enfermedad, como un asesoramiento\u201d. \u00a0 Por otra parte, Fernando Vasconi, m\u00e9dico del equipo de telemedicina explic\u00f3 c\u00f3mo es el proceso del equipo de telemedicina para atender a los pacientes: \u201cempezamos a las 8 de la ma\u00f1ana en una mesa de trabajo, donde epidemiologia nos pasa los pacientes positivos y luego empezamos a trabajar con ellos mediante llamada telef\u00f3nica o videollamada, incluso lo que hacemos es interactuar con todos los hospitales y centro de salud de la provincia para derivar a los pacientes\u00a0 que est\u00e1n en su zona de cobertura o su zona de influencia\u201d. Adem\u00e1s, coment\u00f3 trabajan de lunes a domingo y que realizan de 100 a 150 llamadas al d\u00eda para establecer contacto con los pacientes con s\u00edntomas leves y prueba positiva de COVID-19. Carlos Gim\u00e9nez, estudiante del \u00faltimo a\u00f1o de medicina, colaborador de esta unidad de telemedicina, explic\u00f3 que el seguimiento no solamente es cl\u00ednico, sino que tambi\u00e9n profundiza sobre la situaci\u00f3n particular de los pacientes, sobre su estatus socioecon\u00f3mico, o si cuenta con una persona que pueda llevar los medicamentos a su domicilio. El equipo, adem\u00e1s, ofrece orientaci\u00f3n y apoyo psicol\u00f3gico para los pacientes en asilamiento domiciliario a trav\u00e9s de teleconsultas.
