This study reviewed data on the mode of delivery of medical abortion care (via face-to-face or telehealth) at a Family Planning service during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; April 2020 to March 2022. This was considered over time, in the context of changing eligibility criteria for Medicare-rebated telehealth services as well as patient demographic data. The study demonstrated that when Medicare rebates for telehealth are available for all those requiring abortion care, telehealth contributes to care provision alongside face-to-face services, and is more likely to be utilised by people living in regional and remote areas.
这项研究回顾了在冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行期间,计划生育服务机构中医疗流产护理(面对面或远程医疗)的提供模式的数据;2020 年 4 月至 2022 年 3 月。这是在不断变化的医疗保险报销远程医疗服务资格标准以及患者人口统计数据的背景下考虑的。该研究表明,当所有需要堕胎护理的人都可以获得医疗保险报销远程医疗服务时,远程医疗与面对面服务一起为护理提供做出贡献,并且更有可能被居住在地区和偏远地区的人使用。
