Resumo: | Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on telemedicine and the acceptance and use of this service by physicians in Germany. Design/Methodology/Approach – The research consists of several expert interviews and an online survey among physicians in Germany. Country-specific characteristics of the German healthcare system are described, and physicians’ perceptions of the benefits and limitations of telemedicine are elaborated. Findings – The results indicate that both, the acceptance and use of telemedicine among German physicians have increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it is evident that telemedicine is only used in specific cases and that the service is currently merely a complement to traditional healthcare. The main benefits of telemedicine are the savings in travel time for physicians and patients as well as improved interactions between physicians, while the main limitations are technical difficulties and the lack of physical patient examinations. Physicians from university hospitals, who are young and have strong technological know-how are the main users of telemedicine in Germany. Practical implications – The perspective of physicians provides insights for managers who develop, sell, and implement telemedicine solutions as well as for decision makers who establish telemedicine in medical institutions. Originality – This thesis aims to contribute to the scientific literature by analyzing the effects of the COVID- 19 pandemic on the adoption of telemedicine by physicians in Germany as existing literature mostly relates to patients. |

Projeto/Metodologia/Abordagem – A investigação consiste em várias entrevistas feitas a especialistas e numa pesquisa quantitativa, um inquérito online, realizada entre médicos na Alemanha. São descritas as características específicas do sistema de saúde alemão e são elaboradas as perceções dos médicos sobre os benefícios e limitações da telemedicina. Resultados – Os resultados indicam que tanto a aceitação, como a utilização da telemedicina entre os médicos alemães aumentaram como consequência da pandemia COVID-19. No entanto, é evidente que a telemedicina só é utilizada em casos específicos e este serviço é atualmente, apenas um complemento aos cuidados de saúde tradicionais. Os principais benefícios da telemedicina são a poupança de tempo de viagem para médicos e pacientes, bem como a melhoria das interações entre médicos, enquanto as principais limitações são as dificuldades técnicas e a falta de exames físicos dos pacientes. Os médicos dos hospitais universitários, que são jovens e possuem um forte know-how tecnológico, são os principais utilizadores da telemedicina na Alemanha. Implicações práticas – A perspectiva dos médicos fornece insights para gestores que desenvolvem, vendem e implementam soluções de telemedicina, bem como para decisores que estabelecem a telemedicina em instituições médicas. Originalidade – Esta tese visa contribuir para a literatura científica através da análise dos efeitos da pandemia COVID- 19 sobre a adopção da telemedicina pelos médicos na Alemanha, uma vez que a literatura existente se relaciona principalmente com os pacientes.engTelemedicineDigital HealtheHealthHealthcare in GermanyCOVID-19PandemicTelemedicinaSaúde digitalCuidados de Saúde na

Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on telemedicine and the acceptance and use of this service by physicians in Germany. Design/Methodology/Approach – The research consists of several expert interviews and an online survey among physicians in Germany. Country-specific characteristics of the German healthcare system are described, and physicians’ perceptions of the benefits and limitations of telemedicine are elaborated. Findings – The results indicate that both, the acceptance and use of telemedicine among German physicians have increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, it is evident that telemedicine is only used in specific cases and that the service is currently merely a complement to traditional healthcare. The main benefits of telemedicine are the savings in travel time for physicians and patients as well as improved interactions between physicians, while the main limitations are technical difficulties and the lack of physical patient examinations. Physicians from university hospitals, who are young and have strong technological know-how are the main users of telemedicine in Germany. Practical implications – The perspective of physicians provides insights for managers who develop, sell, and implement telemedicine solutions as well as for decision makers who establish telemedicine in medical institutions. Originality – This thesis aims to contribute to the scientific literature by analyzing the effects of the COVID- 19 pandemic on the adoption of telemedicine by physicians in Germany as existing literature mostly relates to patients. |
