Abstract

Background: Telemedicine has been practiced since 1960. The objective of telemedicine was to establish feasible interactive telecommunication for medical diagnosis and treatment of patients at remote sites. Nowadays, with healthcare costs on the rise, telemedicine is increasing­ly being seen as a strategy for healthcare organizations to make cost-saving. This study aimed to explore the opportunity of telemedicine utilization in cost savings to patients and the health care system.Subjects and Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching the published articles from Pubmed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Science Direct databases. Keywords for this study were ?telemedicine? AND ?patient saticfaction?, ?telemedicine? AND ?cost-utility and cost-effective­ness?, ?tele­medicine? AND ?systematic review?, and ?telemedicine? AND ?meta analysis?. The data were analyzed by PRISMA flow diagram.Results: 8 articles were selected for this study. These studies reported that telemedicine utiliza­tion in dermatology, radiology, pediatrics, and intensive care unit (ICU) rooms reduced health cost by 56% and patients travel cost to health care by 94%. Telemedicine advantages for patients were reduced transportation time or cost, eliminated time off of work, on-demand option, and reduced time in the waiting room, so that it can increase patient?s satisfaction. A study reported that telemedicine utilization at the pediatrics department increased hospital?s revenue by USD 101,744 per year.Conclusion: Telemedicine is an alternative health care to generate cost savings for patient and hospital and it can increase patient?s satisfaction.Keywords: Telemedicine, cost effectiveness, patient satisfactionCorrespondence: Joko Tri Atmojo.

Abstract

The World Health Organization has stated that COVID-19 is a "global pandemic". However, community attitudes and compliance in maintaining protocols during the pandemic were minimal and raised the issue of "herd immunity". What exactly is herd immunity, how exactly does the body's immune system react to COVID-19 and what is a COVID-19 pandemic? The purpose of writing articles is to provide information about the definition of a pandemic, the body's immune system in dealing with COVID-19, and herd immunity. A systematic review was carried out in May 2020 by searching databases: PubMed, google scholar, NIH, CDC, and Science Direct. Keywords: "Pandemic and COVID 19" and "COVID 19 rapid test and accuracy", "PCR accuracy" and "PCR COVID 19 vs Rapid test" and "Herd immunity". The COVID-19 pandemic occurred because there was a discovery and a new mutation of the SARS-CoV virus becoming very infectious and of high virulence. Herd Immunity cannot be said to be the relevant treatment for COVID-19. It requires a large minimum threshold of immunity to achieve Herd Immunity, and it is very unethical to allow large numbers of individuals to be infected.
