COVID-19 pandemic strongly modified the organizations of our clinical practice. Strict containment measures have been adopted to limit the disease diffusion. In particular, hospital face-to-face post discharge and follow up visits have been reduced. Although cancelling or deferring appointments seems to be a pragmatic approach, this solution may have a devasting long-term impact on health medical care and on patients. In this context, telemedicine and remote consultations may have the potential to provide healthcare minimizing virus exposure. In this paper we describe how Multidisciplinary team (MDT) reorganized genitourinary cancer care delivery at our Institute (AO SS Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo, Alessandria), taking advantage of telematic means. Furthermore, we present our preliminary results regarding patients' satisfaction.
新冠疫情极大地改变了我们的临床实践组织形式。已采取严格的防控措施来限制疾病传播。特别是，出院后的医院面对面随访和复诊减少了。虽然取消或推迟预约似乎是一种务实的做法，但这种解决方案可能会对医疗保健和患者产生毁灭性的长期影响。在这种情况下，远程医疗和远程会诊可能有潜力在尽量减少病毒暴露的情况下提供医疗服务。在本文中，我们描述了多学科团队（MDT）如何利用远程信息技术手段，在我们研究所（亚历山德里亚的安东尼奥·圣安东尼奥、比亚吉奥和切萨雷·阿里戈医院）重组泌尿生殖系统癌症护理服务。此外，我们还展示了关于患者满意度的初步结果。
