The Social Security Fund (CSS) and the Ministry of Health (Minsa) in Panama have advanced plans to implement telehealth services in the country. Pilot tests in public health services will begin in at least three or four months.<\/p>

On March 18, Panama's President Laurentino Cortizo approved the Telehealth law<\/a>, which aims specifically to develop telehealth services that will serve as a support modality for the Minsa and the CSS in the provision of services and hospital capacity reduction.<\/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

Congressman Ra\u00fal Fern\u00e1ndez, the main promoter of the Law, explained that both the CSS and the Minsa will initiate pilot plans to activate telemedicine in Panama. He also stated that telemedicine will provide great support for the health care of patients with chronic diseases, helping to relieve the overcrowding of health centers.<\/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

Now, the Minsa and the CSS must acquire technological equipment that enables the implementation of telehealth plans and strategies which involve internet connection and the use of digital health technologies such as digital clinical records. \"They must also guarantee the continuous training of human talent in the handling of the technology used, in the processes, procedures and tools inherent to the provision of services, in which information and communication technologies are used,\" explained the independent congressman.<\/p>

Under a telehealth system, patients will be able to undergo medical studies and upload the information to the network so that a specialist can analyze it and provide a diagnosis.<\/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

Algunos hospitales privados ya ofrecen servicios de telemedicina. La Caja de Seguro Social (CSS) y el Ministerio de Salud (Minsa) en Panam\u00e1, han adelantado los planes para implementar servicios de Telesalud en el pa\u00eds. En al menos tres o cuatro meses, comenzar\u00e1n las pruebas piloto en los servicios p\u00fablicos de salud. El pasado 18 de marzo, el presidente de Panam\u00e1, Laurentino Cortizo aprob\u00f3 la Ley de Telesalud, cuyo objetivo principal es precisamente desarrollar servicios de telesalud que sirvan como una modalidad de apoyo para el Minsa y a la CSS en la oferta de servicios y el descongestionamiento de hospitales. El diputado Ra\u00fal Fern\u00e1ndez, principal promotor de la Ley, explic\u00f3 que tanto la CSS y el Minsa iniciar\u00e1n los planes piloto para activar la telemedicina en Panam\u00e1. Adem\u00e1s, refiri\u00f3 que la telemedicina proporcionar\u00e1 un gran apoyo para la atenci\u00f3n a la salud de pacientes de enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas, ayudando a la desaturaci\u00f3n de centros de salud. Ahora, el Minsa y la CSS deber\u00e1n adquirir equipos tecnol\u00f3gicos que faciliten la implementaci\u00f3n de planes y estrategias de telesalud que involucren la conexi\u00f3n a internet y fomenten el uso de tecnolog\u00edas de Salud digital como los expedientes cl\u00ednicos digitales. \u201cTambi\u00e9n deber\u00e1n garantizar la formaci\u00f3n continua del talento humano en el manejo de la tecnolog\u00eda utilizada, en los procesos, procedimientos y herramientas inherentes a la prestaci\u00f3n de los servicios, en la que se use tecnolog\u00edas de informaci\u00f3n y comunicaci\u00f3n\u201d, explic\u00f3 el diputado independiente. Bajo un sistema de telesalud, los pacientes podr\u00e1n realizarse estudios m\u00e9dicos y subir la informaci\u00f3n a la red, para que un especialista pueda analizarla y brindar un diagn\u00f3stico.
