There has been great interest regarding tele-emergency care (TEC) and its utility following the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen a roll out of multiple TEC services across Australia, operating in isolation, without coordination and under differing models of care, creating the potential for an uncoordinated, inefficient healthcare system. We outline a potential framework under which TEC services might function as part of the current system, defining potential strategies that may be used to appropriately coordinate the acute care of select patients outside of the ED as well as improve the efficiency of the physical ED itself.
在 COVID-19 大流行之后，人们对远程急救护理（TEC）及其效用产生了浓厚的兴趣。我们看到澳大利亚各地推出了多种 TEC 服务，这些服务各自独立运作，没有协调，也没有采用不同的护理模式，这可能导致医疗系统缺乏协调和效率低下。我们概述了一个潜在的框架，TEC 服务可以在此框架下作为当前系统的一部分运作，确定可能用于在急诊部之外适当协调特定患者的急性护理以及提高实体急诊部本身效率的潜在策略。
