The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic challenges many healthcare systems. This review provides an overview of the advantages of telemedicine during times of pandemic and the changes that have followed the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease.
Telemedicine has been utilized during infectious outbreaks for many years. COVID-19 has induced a variety of changes in laws (i.e. data privacy protection) and reimbursement procedures to accelerate new setups of telemedicine. Existing networks provide novel data about teleactivation resulting from social restrictions during the nadir of the lockdown in spring 2020.
Telemedicine is a safe and ideal expert support system for hospitals during infectious outbreaks. It makes high-quality medical procedures possible, limits potentially contagious interhospital transfers, saves critical resources such as protective gear and rescue/emergency transport services, and offers safe home office work for medical specialists.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对许多医疗保健系统提出了挑战。本综述概述了大流行期间远程医疗的优势，以及 COVID-19 疾病爆发后所带来的变化。
多年来，远程医疗一直用于传染病爆发期间。COVID-19 导致法律（例如数据隐私保护）和报销程序发生了多种变化，以加速远程医疗的新设置。现有的网络提供了关于在 2020 年春季封锁最严重时期因社会限制而导致远程激活的新数据。
远程医疗是传染病爆发期间医院的一种安全且理想的专家支持系统。它使高质量的医疗程序成为可能，限制了潜在的传染性医院间转移，节省了关键资源，如防护设备和救援/紧急运输服务，并为医疗专家提供了安全的家庭办公环境。
