Rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) forced an abrupt shift in the traditional US health care delivery model to meet the needs of patients, staff, and communities. Through federal policy changes on telehealth, patient care shifted from in-person to telephone or video visits, and health care providers reached out to patients most at risk for exacerbation of chronic disease symptoms. ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), a videoconferencing peer learning application, engaged health care providers across Missouri in the treatment and management of complex COVID-19-positive patients. Re-envisioning health care in the digital age includes robust utilization of telehealth to enhance care for all.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的迅速传播迫使美国传统的医疗保健提供模式突然转变，以满足患者、员工和社区的需求。通过联邦政策对远程医疗的调整，患者护理从面对面转为电话或视频访问，医疗保健提供者联系了最有可能使慢性病症状恶化的患者。ECHO（社区医疗保健成果扩展）是一种视频会议同伴学习应用程序，它使密苏里州的医疗保健提供者参与到对复杂 COVID-19 阳性患者的治疗和管理中。在数字时代重新构想医疗保健包括大力利用远程医疗来改善所有人的护理。
