ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Mapping the role of telemedicine in the health access of patients with chronic diseases in continuous care actions (except for covid-19) during the pandemic. METHODS This is a scoping review, with an adapted version of the Prisma-Scr methodology and using the Population (patients with chronic diseases), Concept (telemedicine as a health access tool) and Context (covid-19 pandemic) strategy. We searched through the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Lilacs and SciELO, resulting in 18 articles at the end of the review. We used the technological, sociocultural and assistance analysis dimensions. RESULTS Eighty-eight percent of the analyzed papers posited that telemedicine use to provide care increased during the pandemic. We identified that this use was positively related to the reduction of complications and the absence of physical displacement for care, expanding it to rural areas. Important barriers were presented, most importantly the digital exclusion, language sociocultural barriers, and inaccessibility to technological instruments for disabled people. CONCLUSIONS Innovation in care arrangements calls attention to how living labor is important to produce healthcare, using various technologies, and reveals tensions caused by the forces acting on healthcare micro politics. We conclude that, despite important barriers, telemedicine contributed to the care of chronic patients during the covid-19 pandemic.
RESUMO OBJETIVO Mapear a contribuição da telemedicina para o acesso à saúde dos pacientes portadores de doenças crônicas em ações de cuidados continuados (exceto para covid-19) no contexto da pandemia. MÉTODOS Trata de revisão de escopo, com adaptação da metodologia Prisma-Scr e utilizou a estratégia População (Pacientes portadores de doenças crônicas), Conceito (Telemedicina como ferramenta de acesso à saúde) e Contexto (Pandemia de covid-19). Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Lilacs e SciELO, que resultou em um total de 18 artigos ao final da revisão. As dimensões de análise utilizadas foram tecnológica, sociocultural e assistencial. RESULTADOS Entre os artigos analisados, 88% demonstraram o aumento do uso da telemedicina para realização do cuidado durante a pandemia. Identificamos que a utilização da telemedicina esteve relacionada positivamente com a diminuição de complicações e a falta de necessidade de deslocamento físico para o atendimento com ampliação da assistência para áreas rurais. Barreiras importantes foram apresentadas, sendo a exclusão digital e barreiras socioculturais de idioma e falta de acessibilidade dos instrumentos tecnológicos para portadores de deficiência as principais. CONCLUSÕES A inovação nos arranjos assistenciais ressalta a importância do trabalho vivo no processo de produção do cuidado, com o emprego de tipos de tecnologias diversos, e expressa tensionamentos em decorrência das forças atuantes na micropolítica do cuidado. Concluímos que, apesar de barreiras importantes, a telemedicina contribuiu para o cuidado dos pacientes crônicos durante a pandemia de covid-19.

El uso de las herramientas tecnológicas en salud permite llegar a puntos geográficos donde la medicina tradicional traza una brecha entre las instituciones de salud y los pacientes. Estas tecnologías pueden llegar a reducir las tasas de inasistencia médica, aumentar la adherencia al tratamiento y ayudar a garantizar la frecuencia apropiada de las visitas médicas. El presente trabajo se propuso realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre el control y seguimiento de pacientes con enfermedades respiratorias y soporte de oxígeno, a través de herramientas tecnológicas. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos Pubmed, Cochrane, Medline, Lilacs, Biomed, National Library, Science, con descriptores tipo Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) y Descriptores en Ciencias de la Salud (DeCS). El análisis de la literatura se realizó por medio de los elementos Strobe, Amstar. A partir de los estudios incluidos en el análisis final se puede evidenciar que la tecnología móvil en salud se ha convertido en una herramienta de gran importancia en el seguimiento y control de pacientes con enfermedades respiratorias, lo cual proporciona en tiempo real datos que pueden ser usados para minimizar complicaciones y ampliar la oportunidad de atención con calidad en pacientes con problemas respiratorios. No obstante, es necesaria la realización de ensayos clínicos que determinen los beneficios clínicos, al utilizar las herramientas tecnológicas en esta área(AU)
The use of technological tools in health allows reaching geographical points where traditional medicine draws a gap between health institutions and patients. These technologies can reduce medical absence rates, increase adherence to treatment, and help ensure the appropriate frequency of medical visits. In the present work it was proposed to carry out a review of the literature on the control and follow-up in patients with oxygen and respiratory diseases through technological tools. A search was carried out in the databases Pubmed, Cochrane, Medline, Lilacs, Biomed, National Library, Science, with descriptors such as Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS). The analysis of the literature was carried out using the elements Strobe, Amstar. From the studies included in the final analysis, it can be evidenced that mobile health technology has become a very important tool in the monitoring and control of patients with respiratory diseases, which provides data in real time that They can be used to minimize complications and expand the opportunity for quality care in patients with respiratory problems, however, it is necessary to carry out clinical trials to determine the clinical benefits, when using technological tools in this area(SU)
