"Doctor, are there any problems with my liver and kidney functions?" "Auntie, I saw the picture of the test sheet you sent me. The values are within the normal range, and the blood sugar is also well controlled. You still take the medicine you prescribed before, and the dosage does not need to be adjusted temporarily." On December 8, 76 year old Wang Yanfen, a citizen of Baoding, Hebei, with the help of her family, hung up the expert account of Zhang Yao, director of the endocrinology department of the affiliated hospital of Hebei University through the Internet hospital. Wang Yanfen is Zhang Yao's "old patient" who has suffered from diabetes for many years. Half a month ago, when the elderly went online to see a doctor, the doctor suggested that she go to the nearest clinic for routine blood and urine tests. This time, family members took photos of the test results and uploaded them to the system in advance. At the other end of the network, Director Zhang Yao looked at the results of various examinations and quickly gave advice on medication. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. The Internet Hospital of the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University went online last July. Patients can select corresponding departments and experts for graphic or video consultation by entering the "network consultation" through WeChat applet. During the epidemic prevention and control period, small programs played a major role. "The Internet hospital has 26 departments and more than 200 experts, which has obvious advantages in drug renewal and prescription adjustment for patients with chronic diseases." Cheng Shujie, president of the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University, said that due to the epidemic, the number of users has doubled since this year. Up to now, the number of Internet hospital users has reached 980000, and the online diagnosis and treatment service has exceeded 600000 person times. "In my opinion, Internet hospitals under the epidemic situation have two main functions: on the one hand, they can soothe the anxiety of patients and their families, and on the other hand, they can give professional drug guidance and advice." Chu Ruiqi, director of the dermatology department of the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University, said that when receiving patients in the outpatient clinic, considering that it is not easy for patients to visit the hospital during the epidemic, we will remind them that they can register in the Internet hospital for future visits. Now, more and more patients have accepted the diagnosis and treatment mode of Internet hospitals. (Outlook New Times)
