Abstract

Background: Over recent years there has been a shift in clinical practice to support care delivery via telemedicine. This study aims to highlight the patient and provider experience of telemedicine over 2.5 years within a Canadian Pediatric Neurology clinic.

Method: A REDCap survey was sent to all patients/parents and providers with a telemedicine appointment between March 2020 and September 2022.

Results: Seven providers and 272 patients responded. Ninety-one percent of patients and 100% of providers were satisfied with telemedicine. Ninety percent of patients and 100% of providers found telemedicine more convenient. Eighty-seven percent of patients and 100% of providers were interested in future telemedicine appointments. Main challenges were with performing a physical examination and technological issues.

Conclusion: Our survey shows that the majority of patients and providers had highly positive experiences with telemedicine and were interested in continuing care via telemedicine. This study supports incorporating telemedicine into future pediatric neurology practice.

儿科神经学远程医疗：患者和医疗服务提供者体验调查。

背景：近年来，临床实践已转向支持通过远程医疗提供护理服务。本研究旨在强调加拿大儿科神经病学诊所 2.5 年来患者和医疗服务提供者对远程医疗的体验：方法：向 2020 年 3 月至 2022 年 9 月期间预约远程医疗的所有患者/家长和医疗服务提供者发送 REDCap 调查问卷：结果：7 名医疗服务提供者和 272 名患者做出了回应。91%的患者和 100% 的医疗服务提供者对远程医疗表示满意。90%的患者和 100% 的医疗服务提供者认为远程医疗更方便。87%的患者和 100% 的医疗服务提供者对未来的远程医疗预约感兴趣。主要挑战是进行身体检查和技术问题：我们的调查显示，大多数患者和医疗服务提供者对远程医疗有非常积极的体验，并对通过远程医疗继续提供医疗服务感兴趣。这项研究支持将远程医疗纳入未来的儿科神经学实践中。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Child Neurology (JCN) embraces peer-reviewed clinical and investigative studies from a wide-variety of neuroscience disciplines. Focusing on the needs of neurologic patients from birth to age 18 years, JCN covers topics ranging from assessment of new and changing therapies and procedures; diagnosis, evaluation, and management of neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders; and pathophysiology of central nervous system diseases.
