Pediatrician does physical examination through telemedicine and in real life to see whether the telemedicine consultation corresponds with the real life examination.
Goal is to determine:
40 pediatric patients seen by a general practitioner (GP) whom the GP has referred or wants to refer to a pediatrician for clinical evaluation are included in this study.
Study is designed in 2 parts. Part 1 is at the emergency room in the hospital Part 2 is at the GPs office
The pediatrician sees the patient through a telemedicine consultation. Then sees the patient in real life to see if what was seen during telemedicine corresponds with the real life consultation.
With telemedicine and real life consultation the pediatrician rates the patient as either a candidate to go home or to be admitted. With the telemedicine consultation there is also an option "in doubt: i want to see the patient in real life".
Also with both telemedicine and real life examination the pediatrician scores the patient using the respiratory observation scale (Siew et al, 2016)
Goal is to:

| Phase 1 and Phase 2 | 20 patients studied in the emergency room with a pediatrician not presen in the ER performing the telemedicine examination from a distance (ie an office down the hall) followed directly by a face-to-face 20 patients included in the general practitioners office, telemedicine is performed from within the hospital to the GPs office. Patient is then still referred to the hospital in order to check whether the telemedicine and face-to-face examination are somewhat similarce physical examination |
