Estudio de prefactibilidad para la provisión de servicios de salud por telemedicina / teleasistencia a población con limitaciones de acceso a los servicios de salud en Miami Dade, Estados Unidos

Abstract

There is a large vulnerable population living in the United States that has limited access to conventional health services in that country. Considering the described scenario and health as a fundamental right that every person should be able to enjoy, a pre-feasibility analysis of a business idea that provides health services through care modalities such as telemedicine and telecare from Colombia for such population located in the state of Florida, United States, was proposed as a degree work.

To achieve the proposed objective, an analysis was carried out focused on the different studies defined by the UNIDO methodology as fundamental for such purpose. The analysis was carried out in the following components: Environmental study, market study, technical study, administrative-organizational study, legal study, and financial study. At the end of the exercise, it was found that the idea described is viable, being the financial component the most relevant since it is the one that guarantees the effective monetization of the business model.

According to the above and without prejudice to the importance of the other components, it is concluded that for the business idea to be viable and become a consistent reality in a company, a minimum number of people must be guaranteed to subscribe to the management platform of the model with a defined monthly payment, starting from a basal exchange rate.
