助产中心是助产士不仅提供产前检查和分娩护理的场所,而且还为孕妇提供广泛的健康指导,产后母亲,新生儿,和年长的女人。近年来,助产士还提供现场和在线健康指导。然而,在助产中心,诊断和处方药物是不可能的,因为没有医生在场。如果助产士确定患者应该咨询医生,病人可能不得不亲自去医院看医生,这可能是繁重的。在线远程医疗促进了助产士与医生的合作,并可能解决此问题。我们报告了一个通过远程医疗进行头痛管理的案例,通过与提供现场服务的助产中心合作,将患者的旅行负担降至最低。来访,以及为产后就诊困难的患者提供在线健康指导,托儿服务,和母乳喂养。一名29岁的妇女和她的丈夫正在萨渡市(隔海相望的偏远岛屿)抚养一个婴儿,新泻县。她出现急性背痛,由于行动不便而卧床不起几天。她咨询了助产士,因为照顾孩子和急性背痛引起的压力和焦虑,以及新出现的头痛。助产士拜访了她,并提供了现场健康指导。助产士认为医生的诊断和止痛药治疗是可取的头痛和背痛,所以她根据病人的要求联系了医生。医生在海上提供在线远程医疗,她的头痛被诊断为紧张型头痛,并开出对乙酰氨基酚500毫克作为流产处方。处方被传真到岛上的一家药店,原件是邮寄的。助产士拿起药物并将其交付给患者。服药后,患者的背痛和头痛得到缓解。提供现场服务的助产中心之间的合作,来访,在线健康指导和提供在线远程医疗的医疗机构可以潜在地改善医疗服务的可及性。在助产士的协调实践中,它不同于传统的在线远程医疗,通过监测患者的状况并根据患者的请求请求医生。
Midwifery centers are places where midwives not only provide antenatal checkups and delivery care but also offer a wide range of health guidance to pregnant women, postpartum mothers, newborns, and older women. In recent years, midwives have also provided onsite and online health guidance. However, diagnosis and prescribing medication are impossible in midwifery centers because no doctor is present. If the midwife determines that the patient should consult doctors, the patient may have to go to a hospital and see doctors in person, which can be burdensome. Online telemedicine facilitates midwife-doctor collaboration and may solve this problem. We report a
case of headache management by telemedicine that minimized the patient\'s travel burden by collaborating with a midwifery center that provides onsite, visiting, and online health guidance for patients who have difficulty visiting a hospital due to postpartum period, childcare, and breastfeeding. A 29-year-old woman and her husband were raising an infant in Sado City (a remote island across the sea), Niigata Prefecture. She developed acute back pain and was bedridden for several days due to immobility. She consulted a midwife because of stress and anxiety caused by childcare and acute back pain, as well as newly occurring headaches. The midwife visited her and provided on-site health guidance. The midwife decided that a doctor\'s diagnosis and treatment with painkillers were desirable for the headache and back pain, so she contacted a doctor based on the patient\'s request. The doctor provided online telemedicine across the sea, diagnosed her headache as a tension-type headache, and prescribed acetaminophen 500 mg as an abortive prescription. The prescription was faxed to a pharmacy on the island, and the original was sent by post. The midwife picked up the medication and delivered it to the patient. After taking the medication, the patient\'s back pain and headache went into remission. Collaboration between midwifery centers that provide onsite, visiting, and online health guidance and medical institutions that offer online telemedicine can potentially improve accessibility to medical care. It differs from conventional online telemedicine in the midwife\'s coordination practice by monitoring the patient\'s condition and requesting the physician based on the patient\'s request.
