Implementation of Telehealth in the High Complexity Hospital: The Challenge of Building Field Interlocution between Development Technology and Qualification in Health

Abstract

This paper presents describe and analyze the course and buildings for deployment of Telemedicine University Network (RUTH) in a tertiary hospital, aiming to delineate an institutional field research and intervention related to telehealth, contributing to changes in the relationships in research, teaching and assistance. The study covered the period from March to October 2013 with the participation of nine professionals - members of the telehealth commission. Contents of committee meetings, schedule actions, and the production generated from the process of working to implement the core telehealth were used. The interdisciplinarity of the constituent projects Telehealth is intimately crossed by the models established in health practices and the management of the work configures itself as possible to build other kinds of objects and other forms of care. The experience with the implementation of Ruth is an interesting tool for the passage not only to what exists more effective in terms of information technology and communications, procedures, and equipment, but also generates the opportunity of referring us to the inherent complexity modes of work organization, enabling the extent of dialogue between the principles of the Brazilian Unified Health System and health training.
