“…The second and third themes were developed to describe the benefits that HCPs believed virtual care offered (e.g., continuity of care, convenience/comfort) and its limitations to the provision of pediatric chronic pain (e.g., barriers to nonverbal observation and physical examination, privacy concerns, technology glitches, virtual fatigue/engagement challenges, and inequities in access). As described, these outcomes are consistent with many other studies exploring the delivery of pain care in the virtual space [ 12 , 13 , 17 , 33 , 34 ]. Notably, the virtual fatigue/engagement challenges identified by our participants appear to be all too common across healthcare professionals, patients, and families [ 19 , 38 ].…”

“…A secondary aim was to explore differences in experiences across the disciplines in the multidisciplinary team (i.e., mental health, rehabilitation, and medicine). The current study’s qualitative and quantitative analysis supports the growing body of literature describing the overall benefits and challenges of providing virtual care [ 12 , 13 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], and it corroborates Killackey et al’s [ 14 ] similar investigation into HCPs’ experiences in providing pediatric pain care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, this study provides a richer understanding of providing virtual care in the context of multidisciplinary pain management for pediatric chronic pain patients.…”

Background: The onset of the coronavirus disease in 2019 necessitated a rapid transition to virtual care for chronic pain treatment. Methods: A mixed methods design was implemented using qualitative interviews and quantitative satisfaction surveys. Interviews were conducted in February 2021 with a sample of healthcare professionals (HCPs; n = 6) who had provided multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) through an outpatient hospital pediatric chronic pain program. Satisfaction surveys were distributed to all MDT professionals employed by the clinic in April 2021 (n = 13 of 20 eligible; 65% response rate). Participants represented medicine, rehabilitation, and mental health professionals. Results: Analysis of interviews generated five themes: (1) adaptation to virtual care, (2) benefits of virtual care, (3) limitations of virtual care, (4) shifting stance on virtual care over time, and (5) considerations for implementing virtual care. The satisfaction survey data revealed that respondents were able to effectively provide appropriate diagnoses, recommendations, and/or care plans for pediatric chronic pain via virtual care (n = 12, 92.3%). Detailed survey responses are presented by discipline. Conclusions: This study provides a rich exploration of HCPs’ experiences in providing MDT for pediatric chronic pain within a virtual care model. The current results may contribute to the future development of guidelines for virtual care delivery with pediatric chronic pain populations.

“…It offers the opportunity to extend patients' healthcare monitoring from the hospital to the patient's home as well as providing consultations to rural residents who require intensive medical services 4,7 . The benefits of telemedicine were significantly evident during the COVID‐19 pandemic, when people's mobility was limited and so hospital visits were restricted 4,11 . This condition also increased parental anxiety and depression regarding the home recovery of their children with CHD.…”

BackgroundStudies on telemedicine concentrate largely on children with congenital heart disease (CHD), in lieu of their respective parents. The psychological responses of parents of children with CHD may impact on their child's well‐being. This study aimed to examine the impact of telemedicine on the mental status of parents of children with CHD.MethodsA meta‐analytic approach was used to analyze scores on the Self‐reporting Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Self‐reporting Depression Scale (SDS), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life, Brief Report (WHOQOL‐BREF) of the parents of children with CHD. Scores were compared between the telemedicine group and the control group prior to and following the intervention using the measurement of mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CIs).ResultsA total of 209 studies were assessed, of which 10 were incorporated into the systematic review, while four other studies met the meta‐analysis inclusion criteria. Following the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores were significantly lower in the telemedicine group in comparison to the control group (p < 0.001). Telemedicine also exerted a substantial influence on lowering the parents' SAS (p < 0.001) and SDS scores (p < 0.001), as well as improving the quality of life of the parents (p < 0.001).ConclusionTelemedicine has a positive impact on lowering both anxiety and depression as well as improving the quality of life of parents of children with CHD.

“…Telemedicine has also, to some extent, better realized multidisciplinary collaboration, realized the sharing of medical resources, enabled patients to obtain nearby diagnosis and treatment, reduced the spread of the epidemic in the process of patient referral, and implemented the policy of COVID-19 treatment and prevention and control. Telemedicine has also shown advantages during the pandemic, especially for paediatric-related care [9].…”

The COVID-19 epidemic came suddenly and spread rapidly. The best strategy to control the spread of disease is to reduce population mobility and reduce the close contact between people. Telemedicine first appeared in the European and American countries in the 1950s.Telemedicine is a very practical and urgent new medical form. Telemedicine has many forms and scales. Compared with traditional medicine, it has many advantages. It realizes the sharing of medical resources, saves the treatment time and improves the treatment efficiency. By means of telemedicine services, remote diagnosis and remote consultation can be realized without transferring patients and dispatching doctors, which saves time and labor costs and helps to improve the treatment efficiency. Different countries have different telemedicine models, which can learn from some good practical experience, but there are also some shortcomings. The protection of patient privacy also needs to be further improved. With the promotion and application of 5g communication and information technology, telemedicine will be constantly improved and have a broader application prospect.This article will review the development and limitations of telemedicine from the perspective of COVID-19.
