Mae Llywodraeth Cymru, mewn partneriaeth â Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Cymru, wedi cyflwyno Gwasanaeth Ymgynghori Fideo GIG Cymru (NVCS) yn llwyddiannus gan ddefnyddio cynnyrch o'r enw Attend Anywhere, fel rhan o ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i’r pandemig COVID.


Ers ei sefydlu, mae GIG Cymru bellach wedi cyrraedd carreg filltir bwysig drwy gyflawni dros 250,000 o ymgyngoriadau fideo o bell i gleifion yng Nghymru. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i'n gweithwyr iechyd a gofal proffesiynol am eu hymroddiad i gefnogi a gwella'r GIG i bobl yng Nghymru.


Mae'r manteision a'r arbedion a gyflawnwyd gan Wasanaeth Ymgynghori Fideo Cenedlaethol GIG Cymru yn dangos:


* Sgoriau uchel iawn o ran boddhad cleifion a chlinigwyr gyda 92\.4% a 71\.9% (yn y drefn honno) yn dweud bod yr 'ansawdd' rhwng ‘Rhagorol’, ‘Da Iawn’ neu ‘Dda’
* Yn gyffredinol, mae’r niferoedd sy'n manteisio ar y gwasanaeth yn gynrychioliadol o boblogaeth gyffredinol Cymru ar draws holl nodweddion demograffig cleifion fel oedran, rhyw, incwm aelwydydd, a lleoliad trefol/gwledig
* Ymhlith y manteision o ddefnyddio’r Gwasanaeth Ymgynghori Fideo Cenedlaethol o safbwynt cleifion a ddywedodd naill ai ei fod yn 'fuddiol iawn' neu'n 'fuddiol', roedd: arbed teithio a pharcio (92%); achub yr amgylchedd (91\.1%); arbed amser a pharatoi (87\.3%); peidio â gorfod cymryd amser i ffwrdd o'r gwaith/ysgol (81%); yn fwy cyfleus (87\.6%); gwell mynediad at ofal (85\.5%).
* Nododd clinigwyr fanteision fel: defnydd mwy effeithlon o amser/lle clinigol (74\.8%); mwy o fynediad at ofal (72%); amseroedd aros llai (68\. 6%); cyfraddau’r rhai na wnaeth fynychu eu hapwyntiadau yn is (61\.1%); teuluoedd y claf yn gallu cael mwy o gyfranogiad (59\.9%).


\*yn seiliedig ar ddata o werthusiad Cam 2a o 22,978 o arolygon clinigwyr a chleifion (rhwng mis Medi 2020 a mis Chwefror 2021\) a 178 o gyfweliadau â chlinigwyr a chleifion.


Cyhoeddwyd canfyddiadau gwerthusiad Cam 2a o Wasanaeth Ymgynghori Fideo GIG Cymru a gynhaliwyd gan TEC Cymru yn ddiweddar:

Wrth inni edrych am ateb tymor hwy ynghylch ymgyngoriadau fideo yn ein Gwasanaeth Iechyd, rydym yn ystyried yr opsiynau ar gyfer defnyddio apwyntiadau fideo mewn ffordd gynaliadwy, a sut y gallwn ychwanegu gwerth mewn lleoliadau gofal sylfaenol ac eilaidd – a gwneud defnydd ehangach o’r dechnoleg o bosibl. Rydym yn cydnabod na fydd pob un yn dymuno cael ymgynghoriad fideo. Ond mae potensial amlwg manteision y gwasanaeth hwn yn dangos sut y gellir ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi opsiynau eraill sydd ar gael i gleifion, fel apwyntiadau dros y ffôn ac wyneb yn wyneb – gan sicrhau'r gofal gorau posibl i gleifion yng Nghymru.


Mae technolegau digidol wedi chwarae rhan hollbwysig a llwyddiannus iawn yn ein hymateb i COVID\-19\. Mae technoleg wedi galluogi llawer o ddinasyddion Cymru i barhau i gael cyngor a chymorth meddygol mewn amgylchedd diogel, gan dorri’r risg uwch i gleifion a'n gweithwyr iechyd a gofal proffesiynol ymroddedig o drosglwyddo'r feirws. Mae’r Gwasanaeth Ymgynghori Fideo i Gymru Gyfan ar ei ffurf bresennol yn parhau i fod yn rhan allweddol o ddarparu iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, a byddwn yn ceisio cynnal technolegau digidol i gyd\-fynd â mathau eraill o ddarpariaeth a’u defnyddio mewn ffordd gynhwysol fel rhan o'n hadferiad o’r pandemig, a thu hwnt.

Welsh Government, in partnership with Technology Enabled Care (TEC) Cymru, have successfully delivered the accelerated national roll\-out of the NHS Wales Video Consultation Service (NVCS) using a product called Attend Anywhere, as part of Welsh Government’s response to the Covid pandemic.


Since its inception, the Welsh NHS has now reached a significant milestone in successfully delivering over 250,000 remote video consultations to patients in Wales. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our health and care professionals for their dedication to supporting and improving the NHS for people in Wales.


The benefits and savings achieved by the NVCS show:


* Very high ratings in patient and clinician satisfaction with 92\.4% and 71\.9% (respectively) rating  the ‘quality’ between ‘Excellent, Very Good or Good’;
* In general, the level of uptake is representative of the Welsh general population across patient demographics such as age, gender, household income, and urban/rural location;
* The benefits of using NVCS for patients rated either ‘very beneficial’ or ‘beneficial’ included ‘saved travel and parking’ (92%); ‘saving the environment’ (91\.1%); ‘saved time and preparation’ (87\.3%); not ‘having to take time off work/school’ (81%); ‘improved convenience’ (87\.6%); ‘improved access to care’ (85\.5%).
* Clinicians identified benefits such as ‘more efficient use of their clinical time/space’ (74\.8%), ‘increased access to care’ (72%), ‘reduced waiting times’ (68\.6%) and ‘reduced Did Not Attend rates’ (61\.1%), and ‘improved family involvement for the patient’ (59\.9%).


\*based on data from the Phase 2a evaluation of 22,978 clinician and patient surveys (between September 2020 and February 2021\) and 178 clinician and patient interviews.


Findings from the Phase 2a evaluation of the NHS Wales Video Consulting Service undertaken by TEC Cymru, have recently been published:

As we look to the longer term solution around video consultation in our Health Service, we are exploring options for the sustainable use of video appointments, and how we can add value within primary and secondary care settings \- and potentially wider uses. We acknowledge that video consultation is not for everyone, but the clear potential of the benefits provided by this service highlights how it can complement other options available to patients, such as telephone and face\-to\-face appointments \- ensuring optimal patient care for people in Wales.


Digital technologies have played a critical and very successful role in our response to Covid\-19, allowing many Welsh citizens to continue to access medical advice and assistance in a safe environment, reducing the risk for both patients and our dedicated health and care professionals to increased risk of transmitting the virus. The current all\-Wales video consultation service continues to be a key part of delivering health and social care in Wales, and we will look to maintain digital technologies in a complementary and inclusive way as a part of our pandemic recovery, and beyond.
