Bridging Gaps in Telemedicine Education in Romania to Support Future Health Care: Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Telemedicine is a key element of modern health care, providing remote medical consultations and bridging the gap between patients and health care providers. Despite legislative advancements and pilot programs, the integration of telemedicine education in Romania remains limited. Addressing these educational gaps is essential for preparing current and future medical professionals to effectively use telemedicine technologies. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the current state of telemedicine education for medical professionals in Romania, focusing on the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities into medical curricula, identifying the challenges and opportunities, and providing recommendations for improving telemedicine education. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Peer-reviewed articles from 2019 to 2023 were identified using databases such as PubMed and Scopus. Additional gray literature was reviewed to provide a comprehensive understanding of telemedicine education in Romania. Data were thematically analyzed to extract key findings and recommendations. Results: The review identified significant progress in the legislative and infrastructural aspects of telemedicine in Romania, but highlighted gaps in integrating telemedicine education into curricula for medical professionals and other health care practitioners directly involved in telemedicine practices. While some universities have included telemedicine components, dedicated telemedicine courses and hands-on training remain insufficient. Barriers include a lack of infrastructure, digital literacy, and practical exposure to telemedicine technologies. Conclusions: For telemedicine to be effectively integrated into Romania's health care system, medical education must be adapted to include comprehensive telemedicine training. Recommendations include enhancing digital literacy, fostering public-private partnerships, and incorporating telemedicine into undergraduate and continuous professional education programs. These efforts are essential for improving healthcare access and quality through telemedicine.
