The COVID-19 pandemic forced the US health care system to evaluate alternative care delivery strategies to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission to patients and health care providers. Telehealth modalities are a safe and effective alternative to face-to-face visits for primary and psychiatric care. Federal policy makers approved changes to telehealth reimbursement coverage and allowed flexibility of location for patients and providers. This article describes the transition of patient visits to telehealth by nurse practitioner faculty at an academic medical center to maintain continuity of care of underserved patient populations. This pivot facilitated resumption of clinical learning experiences for nurse practitioner students.
新冠疫情迫使美国医疗系统评估替代护理提供策略，以降低冠状病毒传播给患者和医护人员的风险。远程医疗模式是初级护理和精神科护理面对面就诊的安全有效替代方案。联邦政策制定者批准了远程医疗报销覆盖范围的变更，并允许患者和提供者在地点上有灵活性。本文描述了一所学术医疗中心的执业护士教员将患者就诊转变为远程医疗，以维持对服务不足患者群体的护理连续性。这一转变促进了执业护士学生临床学习体验的恢复。
