Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread across the globe, driving radical transformation in the way patient care is delivered in primary and secondary care. As part of the response against COVID-19 across primary care in New Zealand, practices and medical centres have largely transitioned to telehealth over a short period of time while maintaining the traditional business model of in-person care on an as-required basis. To inform other primary care services and future practice, we describe our experience at one general practice and the challenges faced in the process of converting to telehealth in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已在全球迅速传播，推动了初级和二级医疗中患者护理提供方式的彻底变革。作为新西兰初级医疗应对COVID-19的一部分，诊所和医疗中心在短时间内基本过渡到远程医疗，同时在必要时维持传统的面对面护理商业模式。为了给其他初级医疗服务及未来实践提供参考，我们描述了一家普通诊所的经验以及在COVID-19大流行期间转向远程医疗过程中所面临的挑战。
