Telemedicine can potentially meet objectives of long-term follow-up care (LTFU) for childhood cancer survivors (CCS) while reducing barriers. We surveyed providers at our institution about their satisfaction with video-conference virtual visits (VV) with 81 CCS during COVID-19 restrictions. The same 81 CCS (or parent proxies) were surveyed about their experience, of which 47% responded. Providers and CCS were highly satisfied with VV (86% and 95% "completely/very satisfied," respectively). CCS rated VV "as/nearly as" helpful as in-person visits (66%) and 82% prefer VV remain an option postpandemic. High levels of survivor and provider satisfaction with VV support ongoing investigation into implementation for LTFU.
远程医疗有可能在降低障碍的同时，满足儿童癌症幸存者（CCS）的长期随访护理（LTFU）目标。我们调查了我们机构的提供者，了解他们对在 COVID-19 限制期间与 81 名 CCS 进行视频会议虚拟就诊（VV）的满意度。同样的 81 名 CCS（或父母代理人）也接受了关于他们体验的调查，其中 47%的人做出了回应。提供者和 CCS 对 VV 非常满意（分别为 86%和 95%的“完全/非常满意”）。CCS 将 VV 的评价为“与”面对面就诊一样有用（66%），82%的人希望 VV 在大流行后仍然是一个选择。CCS 和提供者对 VV 的满意度较高，支持对 LTFU 的实施进行持续调查。
