Foi estruturada uma coordenação de telessaúde na América Latina, com membros indicados pelos ministérios da saúde de16 países, além de cinco grupos temáticos. Partindo das experiências internacionais e com foco na realidade de telessaúde do continente, foi elaborado um instrumento para acompanhar o desenvolvimento de telessaúde na América Latina. Vários países mantêm projetos nacionais de telessaúde: Brasil, Colômbia, Equador, México, Panamá. Estão em processo de elaboração e início de implantação: Bolívia, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Venezuela. O instrumento descrito pelo artigo propõe a caracterização do grau de desenvolvimento da telessaúde nos países da América Latina como inexistente, incipiente, intermediário, avançado e exemplar, e ainda está em fase de teste.

This article aimed to systematize the views on telehealth in Latin America and to present the experience of building an instrument for monitoring the development of telehealth initiatives based on the reality of this region. A group was structured to coordinate telehealth efforts in Latin America, with members appointed by the ministries of health of 16 countries. Five thematic groups were also set up. Based on international experiences and focusing on the reality of telehealth in the continent, an instrument was created to monitor the development of telehealth in Latin America. Several countries have national telehealth projects: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama. Others are in the process of development and early deployment: Bolivia, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Venezuela. The instrument described in the article, which is still being tested, proposes a characterization of countries according to their telehealth development stage: nonexistent, nascent, intermediate, advanced, and exemplary. Currently, important telehealth initiatives are already underway in Latin America.(AU)
