Telemedicine-conveying medical information virtually for planning, diagnosis, or treatment-has been a part of the American medical system for over 100 years. A constantly evolving modality, telepractice was a supplemental care delivery system for most speech-language pathologists (SLPs) until March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced clinical operations to halt in-person activities and convert as much as possible to virtual platforms. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the need for telepractice prior to and beyond the current pandemic, the efficacy of telepractice for the voice-specialized SLP, limitations of telepractice, and best practices for providing care over telepractice with a specific focus on voice disorder diagnosis and treatment.
远程医疗——通过虚拟方式传递医疗信息，用于规划、诊断或治疗——已经成为美国医疗系统的一部分，已有 100 多年的历史。远程实践是一种不断发展的模式，是大多数言语语言病理学家（SLP）的补充护理提供系统，直到 2020 年 3 月，COVID-19 大流行迫使临床运营停止面对面活动，并尽可能转换到虚拟平台。本文的目的是概述在当前大流行之前和之后对远程实践的需求，远程实践对专门从事语音的 SLP 的疗效，远程实践的局限性，以及通过远程实践提供护理的最佳实践，特别关注语音障碍的诊断和治疗。
