The experience of pregnant and postpartum patients continues to evolve during the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited clinical data and the unknown nature of the virus' impact and transmission routes have forced constant changes to traditional care delivery. Dependence on telehealth technology such as telephonic and videoconferencing has surged, and patients' willingness to visit traditional health care facilities has plummeted. We set out to create an ongoing surveillance system to monitor changes to prenatal and obstetric care and the patient experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
在新冠疫情期间,孕妇和产后患者的就医体验持续演变。有限的临床数据以及病毒影响和传播途径的未知性,迫使传统医疗服务不断做出改变。对电话和视频会议等远程医疗技术的依赖激增,而患者前往传统医疗机构就诊的意愿大幅下降。我们着手建立一个持续监测系统,以监控新冠疫情期间产前和产科护理的变化以及患者体验。
