Our experience with telemedicine

  • very low
  • very high

Our expectation for the future Suggested activities in Europe

  • Exchange of medical knowledge to make highest-quality health care

available to all = benefit for patients, healthcare systems and society

  • Potential pitfalls:
  • Licensing, accreditation and registration of professionals
  • Liability
  • Reimbursement
  • Conflict of jurisdictions
  • Data protection

Suggested activities in Europe - To start -

  • International workshops and conferences
  • Experts are performing lectures and endoscopic live-

cases

  • Collaboration between Asian Pacific and European

societies (e.g. ESGE) and national societies (e.g. German society for gastroenterology).

Conclusion

  • Telemedicine is not yet established in Europe, especially

not in Germany.

  • We see a huge potential, even for our university hospital, to

participate in telemedicine.

  • Some pitfalls, including legal issues and data protection

have to be solved.

  • One fast and early step could be the organization of

international workshops and conferences (e.g. for endoscopy).
