In Moscow introduced a new format of online communication of doctors with patients

The city authorities are consistently introducing a new model of the attending physician, which is based on continuous monitoring of the patient and responsibility not only for the quality of admission, but also for the outcome of treatment and human health in general. Thus, Moscow doctors have a new format of online communication with patients with cardiovascular risks and diseases in the application "EMIAS.INFO". This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of the capital for social development Anastasia Rakova.

According to her, after discharge from the hospital, Muscovites who have suffered a heart attack or ischemic stroke receive messages from their doctor with a clear treatment plan and examinations for the coming year, which is especially important for people with cardiovascular diseases and the risk of their development.

“Treatment after a heart attack or stroke does not end with discharge from the hospital: a person’s life and the likelihood of recurrence of the disease directly depend on compliance with the prescribed therapy. Therefore, we have launched a new format of online communication with such patients, the vice mayor stressed. - Now in the application "EMIAS.INFO" a person writes his attending physician - cardiologist, neurologist or district. The specialist connects proactively: sends a message explaining what to do after discharge, why treatment is needed and why it is important to continue it.”.

Rakova added that the capital has launched a similar format of interaction for those patients who have high levels of “bad” cholesterol in blood tests for the first time. In the future, it is planned to expand the content of messages and the circle of patients to whom this is available.

The deputy mayor said that the new format of patient information works in a single digital circuit of Moscow medicine. Information about the discharge of the patient from the hospital and the results of his tests were available to attending doctors in the information and analytical system before, now the specialist can immediately inform the patient about his further actions through the application "EMIAS.INFO".

Note that the patient, in order to receive messages from the attending physician, must allow notifications in the settings of the application "EMIAS.INFO" and mobile device, while all messages come only in the application, and SMS are not used for security purposes.

Earlier, Anastasia Rakova said that thanks to the organization of emergency assistance in Moscow over the past five years, mortality from myocardial infarction decreased by almost 35%, from stroke by 31%.
