Resumo: | The Brazilian healthcare industry is currently experiencing a digital transformation. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of teleconsultation is becoming closer to being a reality. Due to the quarantine scenario, the government was obliged to temporarily officialize the practice of teleconsultation for all doctors and healthcare practitioners. Accordingly, accessibility between doctors and patients and efficiency in time and monetary conditions will be improved by this innovative care and treatment concept. Teleconsultation enables a time and location-independent treatment of patients using the digital world. However, this kind of digital medical treatment is currently not properly available in Brazil outside the pandemic period. This could be the time that shows the potential and need for implementation of this innovation. Therefore, this study assesses the current status and potential of teleconsultation in the Brazilian market, observing its great potential due to the vast physical territory that lacks quality healthcare assistance and the number of people paying for private insurance plans. Also, the findings of the study in terms of the main roadblocks for implementation shows that key barriers are created by stakeholders such as the government, insurance companies, doctors themselves and the technology providers. All of these play a decision-making role for implementing this healthcare method. Moreover, the Brazilian sample interviewed showed great acceptance of the innovation and the data collected together with the expert interviews indicated having this technology fully implemented within 5 years, at least in the main regions of the country. |

Acelerada pela pandemia COVID-19, a implementação da teleconsulta está cada vez mais perto de ser uma realidade. Devido ao cenário de quarentena, o governo foi obrigado a oficializar temporariamente a prática da teleconsulta para todos os médicos e profissionais de saúde. Consequentemente, tanto a acessibilidade entre médicos e pacientes como a eficiência em termos de tempo e dinheiro devem ser trazidas a novos patamares por esse conceito inovador de saúde e tratamentos. A teleconsulta permite um tratamento de pacientes independente de horário e local através de meios digitais. No entanto, esse tipo de tratamento atualmente não está disponível de forma regularizada no Brasil fora do período pandêmico. Este pode ser o momento que mostra o potencial e a necessidade de implementação dessa inovação. Portanto, este estudo avalia a situação atual e o potencial da teleconsulta no mercado brasileiro, vendo grande potencial devido ao seu vasto território físico, sem assistência médica de qualidade e à quantidade de pessoas que pagam por planos privados. Além disso, as conclusões do estudo em termos dos principais obstáculos de implementação mostram que as principais barreiras são criadas por stakeholders, como o governo, seguradoras, os próprios médicos e os fornecedores de tecnologia. Todos eles desempenham um papel crítico na tomada de decisão para a implementação deste método de saúde. Além disso, a amostra brasileira entrevistada mostrou grande aceitação em relação à inovação e os dados coletados em conjunto com as entrevistas com especialistas apontaram para uma estimativa de ter essa tecnologia totalmente implementada em 5 anos pelo menos nas principais regiões do país.Rajsingh, PeterVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCastro, Pedro Henrique de2021-09-20T11:04:43Z2021-01-2720212021-01-27T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/34994TID:202656551enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-30T01:35:40Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/34994Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:22.661623Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
