In itself, the topic of digital sick leave is correct: the 21st century is in the yard, how many pieces of paper can be written out, says Nikolai Dronov, chairman of the coordinating council of the Movement Against Cancer MOU.
“Telemedicine consultations make it possible to issue a sick leave without a personal visit in the face of a high incidence of coronavirus infection and an increase in the burden on the healthcare system. The doctor talks to the patient on the phone and decides whether to give him sick leave or not,” said Dronov.
Closing sick leave with the help of information technology is also not a problem, he believes. “As a patient, I see in my personal account at public services that the result of a repeated test for covid came back negative. This means that these data should also be visible in the healthcare system. In this case, the sick leave can be closed automatically – according to the test result, ”said the interlocutor of Rosbalt.
However, while this system, like any other, will work in full, time must pass, he believes.
“I can share my experience. For two days in a row, he tried to close his sick leave for coronavirus, which he issued during a personal visit to the doctor. First, a sick leave was opened for SARS, then, when a positive PCR test result came in, it should have been automatically extended. They said they didn’t have to go anywhere. As a result, it was not extended, because the head of the department, who is responsible for this, did not report something somewhere. When the disease receded, I passed a second PCR test, the result came back negative. Sick leave had to be closed. I barely got through to the clinic to ask if it could be done without a visit to the doctor. They said that they would need to come, because the sick leave was issued for SARS only until January 31, it must first be extended, ”Dronov said.
A separate problem is to get through to the clinic, he stressed. “In the end, after lunch, I was going to go to the doctor, but they called from the registry, they said that they would close the sick leave without a personal visit. That is, the work is in manual control mode,” Dronov said. That is, the idea is good, but the system needs to be finalized, he believes.
