With the Ministry of Health's Remote Patient Assessment System (UHDS), citizens will be able to attend family medicine appointments by video from wherever they are. In the system, accessed via MHRS, e-Nabız, or an SMS link, pregnancy and postpartum follow-up, evaluation of cancer screening results, and smoking cessation counseling can also be provided remotely. The service will be offered as a complement to face-to-face examinations in appropriate cases.
With the Remote Patient Evaluation System (RPES) implemented by the Ministry of Health, citizens will be able to attend family medicine appointments online.
In order to facilitate access to health services, ensure the continuity of health services offered to citizens, and use digital possibilities effectively in health services, the Ministry of Health has developed the Remote Patient Evaluation System (RPES). The Ministry's digital health application RPES, which allows citizens to have online and video interviews with the physician they have an appointment with and the relevant health personnel without leaving their environment, offers remote interview, consultation, information, monitoring and follow-up services in accordance with the nature of health services.
CONVENIENCE FOR ELDERLY AND CHRONIC PATIENTS
Family Physician Dr. Okşan Serpil Can emphasized that with RPES citizens can easily receive remote consultation, saying, "The Remote Patient Evaluation System, that is, RPES, is an important application that facilitates access to health services and enables our citizens to receive health services through video interviews with their physicians. Thanks to this system, our citizens, especially elderly, disabled, chronically ill individuals or those who have difficulty reaching a health institution, can receive appropriate health services from their environment. In addition to family medicine services, pregnancy and postpartum follow-up, evaluation of cancer screening results, smoking cessation counseling, and counseling services of Healthy Life Centers can also be offered remotely," she said.
IT WILL NOT REPLACE FACE-TO-FACE EXAMINATION
Stating that RPES aims to ensure the continuity and accessibility of health services, Can said, "Our aim with RPES is not only to facilitate access to health services, but also to ensure the continuity of health services, strengthen patient follow-up, and direct our citizens to the right health institutions in a timely manner when needed. It should not be forgotten that remote health services will be offered not in every case where they should replace a face-to-face examination, but as a complementary service in cases where it is appropriate. We invite our citizens to use this system effectively," she stated.
CONNECTING VIA THE CAMERA ICON IN MHRS AND E-NABIZ
Citizens will be able to attend family medicine appointments through the camera icon located in the 'My Appointments' section of the MHRS website, MHRS mobile application, or e-Nabız application. In addition, access to the interview can be provided through SMS links sent to verified phone numbers registered in MHRS.
