Abstract
Objective. To analyze the level of awareness of remote ultrasound consultation technologies among physicians in the public and private health care sectors. Materials and Methods. In order to assess the awareness of USD physicians about the possibility of using teleconsultations, a questionnaire was developed and physicians from all federal districts of the Russian Federation were surveyed. The questionnaire was conducted anonymously, electronically, as well as with the collection of information on paper. The results were evaluated in Excel program. Results. The data of 192 questionnaires were processed. The reasons for the limited use of the technology of remote consultations during ultrasound examinations in doctors of medical institutions of public health care and medical institutions of private ownership were revealed. Conclusion. Heterogeneous technical support, insufficient information support for the development and implementation of new technology, and limited time resource are the main reasons for the incomplete application of remote teleconsultation during ultrasound examinations.
