Abstract

Background: Humanitarian crises frequently garner solidarity and robust volunteer recruitment among health care communities. However, a common obstacle is matching providers to those in need across geographic and other barriers. We examined the application of a decentralised governance strategy in establishing an emergency telemedicine response, TeleHelp Ukraine (THU).

Methods: Using a case study approach, we explored how global networking and technological advancements empower organisations to generate, access, disseminate, and utilise knowledge for sustainable health care delivery.

Results: Preliminary results suggest that a non-profit, decentralised model strengthened by robust team dynamics may optimise the distribution of clinical workload and scheduling procedures. Institutional and cultural diversity among health care providers and volunteers fosters the mobilisation of knowledge resources, synergistic collaboration, and tailored care standards that align with both provider and patient expectations. By integrating these diverse, distributed networks, a synergistic effect is achieved, combining effective learning mechanisms with intellectual capital.

Conclusions: Our study provides insights into the structure, implementation strategies, dissemination methodologies, and initial results of THU's operation. These findings may inform future emergency telemedicine responses in humanitarian scenarios, thereby reinforcing the practical implementation of health as a human right.

乌克兰远程帮助:分布式国际远程医疗应对持续不断的战争。
背景:人道主义危机经常会在医疗保健团体中引起声援并招募大量志愿者。然而,一个常见的障碍是如何跨越地理和其他障碍,将医疗服务提供者与有需要的人相匹配。我们研究了在建立紧急远程医疗响应 "乌克兰远程帮助"(TeleHelp Ukraine,THU)中应用分散管理策略的情况:方法:我们采用案例研究的方法,探讨了全球网络和技术进步如何使组织有能力生成、获取、传播和利用知识,以提供可持续的医疗保健服务:初步结果表明,非营利性的分散模式通过强大的团队动力得到加强,可以优化临床工作量的分配和排班程序。医疗服务提供者和志愿者之间的机构和文化多样性促进了知识资源的调动、协同合作以及符合提供者和患者期望的定制医疗标准。通过整合这些多样化的分布式网络,实现了协同效应,将有效的学习机制与知识资本相结合:我们的研究深入探讨了 THU 的结构、实施策略、传播方法和初步运营成果。这些研究结果可为今后在人道主义情况下采取紧急远程医疗应对措施提供参考,从而加强健康作为一项人权的实际落实。
