Telemedicine adoption has rapidly accelerated since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine provides increased access to medical care and helps to mitigate risk by conserving personal protective equipment and providing for social/physical distancing to continue to treat patients with a variety of allergic and immunologic conditions. During this time, many allergy and immunology clinicians have needed to adopt telemedicine expeditiously in their practices while studying the complex and variable issues surrounding its regulation and reimbursement. Some concerns have been temporarily alleviated since March 2020 to aid with patient care in the setting of COVID-19. Other changes are ongoing at the time of this publication. Members of the Telemedicine Work Group in the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) completed a telemedicine literature review of online and Pub Med resources through May 9, 2020, to detail Pre-COVID-19 telemedicine knowledge and outline up-to-date telemedicine material. This work group report was developed to provide guidance to allergy/immunology clinicians as they navigate the swiftly evolving telemedicine landscape.
自 COVID-19 大流行以来，远程医疗的采用迅速加速。远程医疗增加了获得医疗的机会，并有助于通过节省个人防护设备和提供社会/身体距离来减轻风险，以继续治疗各种过敏和免疫疾病的患者。在此期间，许多过敏和免疫学临床医生在研究其监管和报销的复杂和多变问题的同时，需要在实践中迅速采用远程医疗。自 2020 年 3 月以来，一些担忧已暂时缓解，以帮助 COVID-19 环境下的患者护理。在本出版物发布之时，其他变化仍在进行中。美国过敏、哮喘和免疫学学会（AAAAI）远程医疗工作组的成员通过 2020 年 5 月 9 日完成了对在线和 Pub Med 资源的远程医疗文献综述，详细介绍了 COVID-19 之前的远程医疗知识，并概述了最新的远程医疗材料。该工作组报告旨在为过敏/免疫学临床医生提供指导，帮助他们应对快速发展的远程医疗领域。
