Following the rapid spread of a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), nearly all countries have introduced temporary restrictions affecting daily life, with "social distancing" as a key intervention for slowing the spread of the virus. Despite the pandemic, the development or actualization of medical guidelines, especially in the rapidly changing field of oncology, needs to be continued to provide up-to-date evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for shared decision making and maintaining the treatment quality for patients. In this viewpoint, we describe the potential strengths and limitations of online conferences for medical guideline development. This viewpoint will assist guideline developers in evaluating whether online conferences are an appropriate tool for their guideline conference and audience.
随着新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)的迅速传播,几乎所有国家都出台了临时限制措施,影响人们的日常生活,其中“社交距离”是减缓病毒传播的关键干预措施。尽管发生了大流行,但仍需要继续制定或实现医疗指南,特别是在肿瘤学这个快速变化的领域,以便为共同决策提供最新的基于证据和共识的建议,并维持患者的治疗质量。在本观点中,我们描述了在线会议在医疗指南制定方面的潜在优势和局限性。本观点将有助于指南制定者评估在线会议是否适合他们的指南会议和受众。
