INTRODUCTION: Telemedicine provides remote clinical support through technology
tools. It can facilitate medical care delivery while reducing unnecessary office
visits. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused an abrupt change in our daily urological
practice, where teleconsultations play a crucial role. OBJECTIVE: To provide
practical recommendations for the effective use of technological tools in
telemedicine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature search was conducted on Medline
until April 2020. We selected the most relevant articles related to
«telemedicine» and «smart working» that could provide valuable information.
RESULTS: Telemedicine refers to the use of electronic information and
telecommunication tools to provide remote clinical health care support. Smart
working is a working approach that uses new or existing technologies to improve
performance. Telemedicine is becoming a useful and fundamental tool during the
COVID-19 pandemic and will be even more in the future. It is time for us to
officially give telemedicine the place it deserves in clinical practice, and it
is our responsibility to adapt and familiarize with all the tools and possible
strategies for its optimal implementation. We must guarantee that the quality of
care received by patients and perceived by them and their families is of the
highest standard. CONCLUSIONS: Telemedicine facilitates remote specialized
urological clinical support and solves problems caused by limited patient
mobility or transfer, reduces unnecessary visits to clinics and is useful to
reduce the risk of COVID-19 viral transmission.
