Teleemergency doctor system: Over 600 missions in Saxony-Anhalt within one year!

An exciting year is coming to an end: Since October 1, 2024, an innovative telenotarz system has been tested in the Saalekreis, Mansfeld-Südharz and the independent city of Halle (Saale). This system aims to make emergency care more efficient and thus better secure the 558,000 inhabitants of this region. With a deployment of 27 ambulances, which are connected to the central telenota doctor in Halle, highly qualified emergency doctors are available to the rescue teams on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to provide decisive support. The success of the initiative is already shown: In the first twelve months, impressive 624 missions were registered, the accessibility of the telenotarz system was remarkable 98.7 percent, as https://www.hallelife.de/nachrichten/gesundheit/goelf-monate-elenotarz---er---er---er---er---erbewrahrt/) reported.

The telenotians who are used for the service are not only experienced, but also bring a special additional training of the State Medical Association. These experts come from various established clinics, including the BG Klinikum Bergmannstrost Halle and the University Hospital Halle (Saale). Since the start of the project, 223 emergency paramedics have also been trained in the application of the telenota system, which gives the rescue workers on site a good hand for quick and well -founded decisions.

Frequent reasons for use

What are the most common reasons why teleemergency doctors are called? At the forefront is the evaluation of examination findings, followed by support with drug therapy and crucial decisions about the patient's further treatment. A revealing 93.4 percent of emergency paramedics rate the operations as helpful or even very helpful, which underlines the quality of the support offered. The ambitious project will also be scientifically supported in order to evaluate the availability of the telenotarzt system and the results of the operations, according to [n-tv.

The positive balance of the telenotarz system makes hope of a nationwide introduction grow. In July 2025, the Ministry of Interior and Sport Saxony-Anhalt plans to include the system in the emergency services law due to the gratifying results. It is expected that the emergency supply in Saxony-Anhalt will be decisively optimized. The telenot doctor uses modern telecommunications for language and visual contact with the rescue agents and their crews. He assesses therapy-relevant information and can even support the selection of the appropriate rescue center for secondary transport, which also increases the efficiency of the emergency aid, such as Zeit.

Overall, the teleemergency doctor project shows promising results and gives hope for a positive development in regional emergency medicine. The coming months will be crucial to find out whether this successful system can gain a foothold throughout Saxony-Anhalt. It remains exciting to see how the emergency services and doctors will develop in practice.
