Abstract

The emergence of Post-Acute Sequelae of Sars Cov-2 (PASC), also known as long-COVID, has prompted response from the medical community with research in how to treat patient's symptoms, and in some places, development of post-COVID clinics. Publications about PASC clinics thus far have been in large academic research centers, which have access to many specialists, yet only treat a small amount of the US population. Our hospital system was able to develop a multidisciplinary post-COVID clinic in a small rural community using a PM&R (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) physician lead, and the ancillary services we had available in our town of 13,508 people. Funding for this was internal with no grant sources. As part of the patient rehabilitation team, the roles of PM&R providers, physical therapy, speech therapy, respiratory therapy, and psychology are portrayed. This developed clinical model is accessible to small communities across the United States.

在小型社区环境中实施多学科新冠肺炎后诊所。

Sars Cov-2急性后遗症（PASC）的出现，也被称为长期新冠肺炎，促使医学界对如何治疗患者症状进行了研究，并在一些地方开发了新冠肺炎后诊所。到目前为止，关于PASC诊所的出版物都在大型学术研究中心发表，这些中心可以接触到许多专家，但只治疗一小部分美国人口。我们的医院系统能够在一个小的农村社区开发一个多学科的新冠肺炎后诊所，使用PM&R（物理医学和康复）医生的领导，以及我们在拥有13508人的小镇上提供的辅助服务。这方面的资金来自内部，没有拨款来源。作为患者康复团队的一部分，描述了PM&R提供者、物理治疗、言语治疗、呼吸治疗和心理学的角色。这种开发的临床模型可供美国各地的小社区使用。
