- PublicationTelehealth and telemedicine projections in the post-covid-19 era. A scoping reviewIntroduction: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine and telehealth faced legal, technological, and cultural regulatory limitations. The health crisis boosted its massive adoption, enhancing its continuity over time. The objective of this review is to determine the projections of telehealth and telemedicine in the post-COVID-19 era and the factors that condition its growth.Methods: A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The databases consulted were PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. 19 relevant studies were selected from an initial total of 96.Results: The pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, maintaining its use in areas such as mental health and chronic diseases. Factors associated with the use and development of technologies, added to cultural and economic aspects, have hindered its growth.Conclusions: Telehealth and telemedicine have improved access to health, but their sustainability requires resolving technological inequalities, in addition to guaranteeing privacy and security standards.
- PublicationInterdisciplinarity in the Effectiveness of Telehealth: Challenges, Opportunities, and Necessary CompetenciesIntroduction: Telehealth has become a key tool to improve access to healthcare, particularly in contexts with geographical barriers. Its effective implementation relies on integrating technology with clinical knowledge, which requires specific competencies and interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure equitable care.Objective: To describe how interdisciplinarity influences the implementation and effectiveness of telehealth, identifying the challenges, opportunities, and necessary competencies from the perspective of healthcare professionals in the Biobío region, Chile.Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted through a focus group with 14 healthcare professionals from various disciplines. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and co-occurrence analysis to identify relationships among key competencies.Results: The findings indicate that interdisciplinarity optimizes telehealth by combining clinical and technological knowledge, although it faces challenges such as the need for training in communication and adaptability competencies. The importance of skilled human resources and robust digital infrastructure is also highlighted.Conclusions: Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for the success of telehealth, enabling patient-centered care and promoting health equity. Ongoing training in specific competencies and adequate technological support are necessary to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of telehealth in the region.
- PublicationDimensiones asociadas a competencias en telemedicina y telesalud en profesionales de la salud: revisión exploratoria(Medwave Estudios Limitada, 2025); ; ; - PublicationDevelopment and validation of an instrument to assess the perception of competencies and level of preparedness in telehealthIntroducción Se requiere contar con un instrumento validado que evalúe percepción de competencias y el nivel de preparación que poseen los profesionales y técnicos que realizan atenciones en salud de manera telemática en Chile. Objetivo Desarrollar y evaluar la confiabilidad y validez de un instrumento diseñado para medir percepción de competencias y el nivel de preparación en telesalud. Métodos Se diseñó un instrumento sobre competencias y nivel de preparación en telesalud, obteniendo validez de contenido mediante juicio experto. Luego, se aplicó el instrumento durante el año 2023 a un total de 83 profesionales y técnicos de la salud con experiencia en telesalud. Para determinar validez de constructo, se realizó análisis factorial exploratorio, extrayendo los factores mediante ejes principales. Además, se estimó el número de factores combinando análisis paralelo de Horn y gráfico de sedimentación. La rotación se realizó mediante el método Oblimin. Para estimar fiabilidad, se calculó el estadístico α de Cronbach. Resultados El análisis factorial permitió identificar los ítems que cargaban sobre 0,6, generando así una escala final de dos factores, con un total de 30 ítems. Este modelo factorial explicó 75,5% de la varianza total. El primer factor reúne los ítems que evalúan percepción de competencias en telesalud. El segundo, evalúa percepción del nivel de preparación en telesalud. Ambos factores presentan indicadores de fiabilidad adecuados, con α de Cronbach de 0,98 y 0,97 respectivamente, mostrando correlaciones consideradas adecuadas. Conclusiones El instrumento cuenta con indicadores psicométricos adecuados, aun considerando el tamaño muestral, para medir la percepción de competencias y nivel de preparación en telesalud en profesionales y técnicos de la salud de la Región del Biobío. Ambos factores que componen el instrumento permiten identificar necesidades de capacitación y formación. Se sugiere ampliar validación a muestras de otras regiones y aumentar la diversidad de disciplinas clínicas.
