The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has highlighted the need for establishing effective parent and family engagement throughout all aspects of medicine. Though there has been some discussion in the literature regarding the transition from typical outpatient visits to telehealth visits, there has been less written about the inpatient approach to family inclusion. Here, we seek to describe our institution's experience with implementing virtual medicine across the full continuum of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience, including inpatient rounding, child life family visits, and outpatient high-risk developmental follow-up after discharge.
持续的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行凸显了在医学各个方面建立有效的家长和家庭参与的必要性。尽管文献中已有一些关于从典型门诊就诊向远程医疗就诊转变的讨论,但关于将家庭纳入住院治疗的方法的论述较少。在此,我们试图描述我们机构在新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)整个连续治疗过程中实施虚拟医疗的经验,包括住院查房、儿童生活家庭探访以及出院后的门诊高危发育随访。
