Cet article traite de l’urgence qu’il y a, aux Etats-Unis, à réduire les inégalités territoriales en matière de santé. Il montre combien la situation est devenue critique pour le pays. En ce sens, la « télémedecine » pourrait être le moyen le plus durable et optimal de réduire l’effet négatif des barrières économiques, professionnelles et physiques sur l’offre de soin en milieu rural. Aux Etats-Unis, les problématiques de santé rencontrées dans les espaces urbains ne sont pas les mêmes que celles touchant les espaces ruraux ce qui justifie qu’une réflexion spécifique soit menée sur le sujet. L’article détaille dans un premier temps les défis à relever pour les territoires ruraux. Le cas des urgences médicales dans le Vermont est ensuite mobilisé pour démontrer l’intérêt qu’il pourrait y avoir à recourir aux nouvelles technologies pour améliorer l’accès aux soins. |
