The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the practical applications of comprehensive cancer rehabilitation services through telemedicine.
Telemedicine has been shown to be an effective platform leading to positive outcomes and high patient/provider satisfaction for several forms of skilled therapy and cancer physiatry visits. Several survivorship resources are also available through telemedicine in recent years. Telemedicine can increase accessibility to geographically sequestered services including cancer physiatry, skilled therapy and survivorship resources. In certain situations and for specific services, telemedicine can be effective, however, in other situations such as the evaluation of new neurologic deficits or when providing manual therapies, in-person visits should take precedence.
本综述旨在概述通过远程医疗提供的综合癌症康复服务的实际应用情况。
远程医疗已被证明是一个有效的平台,对于多种形式的专业治疗和癌症物理治疗门诊而言,能带来积极的结果并使患者/医疗服务提供者满意度较高。近年来,通过远程医疗还可获取多种癌症幸存者资源。远程医疗能够增加获得包括癌症物理治疗、专业治疗和癌症幸存者资源等在内的地理上隔离的服务的机会。在某些情况下以及针对特定服务,远程医疗可能有效,然而,在其他情况下,如评估新出现的神经功能缺损或提供手法治疗时,当面就诊应优先考虑。
