-> Catel has supported since 1997 the deployment of telemedicine practices and, more broadly, digital healthcare. We have believed for more than 20 years in the advantages of these uses, and in this difficult period, we put more than ever our skills and our network at the service of the general interest. Catel is opening http://en.teleconsultez.fr/ to meet the needs of healthcare professionals who wish, in an emergency, to implement teleconsultation to deal with the emergency of the health crisis linked to Covid-19. The first step is to allow them to quickly find the information they need to launch their first teleconsultation uses, either through articles and reference documents or through direct exchange with their peers or domain experts in the forum.

The professionals concerned will find the answers to their most urgent questions: why do teleconsultation in this context of crisis?

In what context is this authorized?

Who can carry out these teleconsultations? How to invoice the acts? Which solution, which material to choose? How to refer my patients to teleconsultation? Will the handling be quick, on the caregiver side?

The reference information and published testimonials come from the French experience but can be enriched by other French and English-speaking experiences.
You can also benefit from the support of Catel thanks to its consultancy and engineering activity (for example, Catel currently supports the WAHO and the 15 countries of the ECOWAS region in their transition to digital in Health).
