Over the last 2 decades, telemedicine has effectively demonstrated its ability to increase access to care. This access has the ability to deliver quality clinical care and offer potential savings to the healthcare system. With increasing frequency, physicians, clinics, and medical centers are harnessing modern telecommunications technologies to manage a multitude of acute and chronic conditions, as well as incorporating telehealth into teaching and research. The technologies spanning telehealth, telemedicine, and mobile health (mHealth) are rapidly evolving, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has prepared this updated position statement to educate its membership on the use of telemedicine and telehealth technologies. IDSA supports the appropriate and evidence-based use of telehealth technologies to provide up-to-date, timely, cost-effective subspecialty care to resource-limited populations.
在过去的 20 年中，远程医疗已经有效地证明了其增加医疗服务可及性的能力。这种可及性有能力提供高质量的临床护理，并为医疗保健系统节省潜在的费用。越来越多的医生、诊所和医疗中心正在利用现代电信技术来管理多种急性和慢性疾病，并将远程医疗纳入教学和研究。远程医疗、远程医疗和移动医疗 (mHealth) 所涵盖的技术正在迅速发展，美国传染病学会 (IDSA) 已经编写了这份更新的立场声明，旨在就远程医疗和远程保健技术的使用为其成员提供教育。IDSA 支持在适当和基于证据的基础上使用远程保健技术，为资源有限的人群提供最新、及时、具有成本效益的专科护理。
