METHOD
A national cross-sectional online survey of Australian general practitioners was conducted in April and May 2020, with 572 respondents.
RESULTS
The COVID-19 pandemic in Australia has resulted in major changes to general practice business models. Most practices have experienced increased workload and reduced income.
DISCUSSION
Australian general practices have undertaken major innovation and realignment to respond to staff safety and patient care challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased administration, reduced billable time, managing staffing and pivoting to telehealth service provision have negatively affected practice viability. Major sources of information for general practice are primary care-specific, but many practices turn to colleagues for support and resources.
方法
2020 年 4 月至 5 月，对澳大利亚全科医生进行了全国性的横断面在线调查，共有 572 名受访者。
结果
澳大利亚的 COVID-19 大流行导致全科医生业务模式发生重大变化。大多数诊所的工作量增加，收入减少。
讨论
澳大利亚的全科医生为应对 COVID-19 大流行期间的员工安全和患者护理挑战，进行了重大创新和调整。增加管理工作、减少计费时间、管理人员配置以及转向远程医疗服务提供，对诊所的生存能力产生了负面影响。全科医生的主要信息来源是特定于初级保健的，但许多诊所寻求同事的支持和资源。
