由于COVID-19大流行，许多精神卫生保健服务已从面对面转向虚拟互动。在此期间，一些卫生政策的变化影响了远程医疗的普及，包括技术、互联网连接、处方和服务报销方面的变化。该等变动已于疫情期间实施，目前尚不清楚该等新订或经修订政策于疫情结束后是否全部、部分或全部保留。因此，随着政策的变化，精神卫生保健提供者将需要就其远程保健计划的未来做出决定。本文简要回顾了由于COVID-19大流行而导致的远程医疗政策变化，并强调了提供者在未来提供和实施远程医疗计划时应考虑的问题。
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many mental health care services have been shifted from face-to-face to virtual interactions. Several health policy changes have influenced telehealth uptake during this time, including changes in technology, Internet connectivity, prescriptions, and reimbursement for services. These changes have been implemented for the duration of the pandemic, and it is unclear if all, some, or none of these new or amended policies will be retained after the pandemic has ended. Accordingly, in the wake of changing policies, mental health care providers will need to make decisions about the future of their telehealth programs. This article briefly reviews telehealth policy changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights what providers should consider for future delivery and implementation of their telehealth programs.
