The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the way that medical care is delivered. To minimise hospital attendance by both patients and staff, remote clinics, meetings and investigations have been used. Technologies including hand-held ECG monitoring using smartphones, patch ECG monitoring and sending out conventional Holter monitors have aided remote investigations. Platforms such as Google Meet and Zoom have allowed remote multidisciplinary meetings to be delivered effectively. The use of phone consultations has allowed outpatient care to continue despite the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a radical, and probably permanent, change in the way that outpatient care is delivered. Previous experience in remote review and the available technologies for monitoring have allowed the majority of outpatient care to be conducted without obviously compromising quality or safety.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对医疗服务的提供方式产生了巨大影响。为尽量减少患者和医护人员前往医院的次数，人们采用了远程诊所、远程会议和远程检查。包括使用智能手机进行手持式心电图监测、贴片式心电图监测以及发放传统动态心电图监测仪等技术，都有助于开展远程检查。谷歌Meet和Zoom等平台使远程多学科会议得以有效开展。电话咨询的使用让门诊护理在疫情期间仍能继续。COVID-19大流行导致门诊护理的提供方式发生了根本性的、可能也是永久性的改变。以往远程评估的经验以及现有的监测技术，使得大多数门诊护理能够在不明显影响质量或安全的情况下进行。
