Abstract

The Brazilian National Telemedicine Program in indigenous healthcare assists health professionals working in remote areas in strengthening the healthcare provided to indigenous populations. The current study aimed to analyze the implementation of the National Telemedicine Program in indigenous people's health, from the perspective of health administrators. This was a qualitative exploratory descriptive study using document analysis and open-ended interviews with 10 administrators. Content analysis resulted in two categories: the program's process implementation and the potential of telemedicine for indigenous people's healthcare. The results emphasize the importance of dialogue between all institutions involved and the construction of a democratic forum for evaluating this process and related decision-making: resumption of the program's implementation and subsequently its expansion and improvement of the available resources and the search for other applicable strategies for indigenous people's health. A broad discussion on this topic is recommended that involves the indigenous people's strategies for social control.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 September 2014.
All research outputs
#22,759,452
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Cadernos de Saúde Pública
#1,565
of 1,855 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#206,173
of 240,206 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cadernos de Saúde Pública
#43
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,855 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 240,206 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
