The Potential Implementation of Telemedicine in Frontier, Outmost, and Underdeveloped Region of Indonesia

Telemedicine offers consultations between patients and doctors in real-time. Thus, patients with limited access can still get health services. This study aims to analyze the potential of telemedicine implementation in the frontier, outermost, and underdeveloped areas in Indonesia (3T region) and develop strategies to increase the potency. This qualitative descriptive study using secondary sources collected from the literature study. The analysis is based on the telemedicine pillars and SWOT. The potency of telemedicine implementation in the 3T region is supported by most health facilities already connected to the internet, the high enthusiasm of government and the private sector to create healthcare applications and regulations. However, there are several issues in developing telemedicine: low fixed broadband penetration, uneven electricity sources, and low internet speed. Some of the strategies can be done to maximize the potential implementation are creating applications that can be run with a slow internet connection, using alternative electricity sources, setting up mobile broadband, encouraging a commitment of health data protection and specific law to prevent unauthorized and illegal service providers, health professional training in using the telemedicine application, and cooperating with community leaders in boosting public acceptance of telemedicine.
