The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has prompted rapid restructuring of the health-care system in an effort to stop the spread of the virus and to treat patients who are acutely ill with COVID-19, while continuing to provide outpatient care for the remainder of patients. To help control spread of this pandemic, many centers, including total joint arthroplasty clinics, have boosted telemedicine capability to care for patients who would typically be seen in person in outpatient settings. We review key components relevant to the establishment and effective use of telemedicine, focused on patient education, practice logistics, technological considerations, and sensitive patient health information-associated compliance factors, which are necessary to provide care remotely for total joint arthroplasty patients.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行促使医疗保健系统迅速重组，以努力阻止病毒传播并治疗COVID-19急性病患者，同时继续为其余患者提供门诊护理。为帮助控制这一流行病的传播，包括全关节置换诊所在内的许多中心都提高了远程医疗能力，以照顾那些通常在门诊环境中亲自就诊的患者。我们回顾了与远程医疗的建立和有效使用相关的关键组成部分，重点关注患者教育、实践后勤、技术考量以及与患者敏感健康信息相关的合规因素，这些对于为全关节置换患者提供远程护理是必要的。
