COVID-19 大流行极大地改变了我们临床实践的组织。已采取严格的遏制措施来限制疾病扩散。特别是出院后的医院面对面和随访已经减少。尽管取消或推迟预约似乎是一种务实的做法，但这种解决方案可能会对健康医疗和患者产生毁灭性的长期影响。在这种情况下，远程医疗和远程咨询可能有潜力提供医疗保健，最大限度地减少病毒暴露。在本文中，我们描述了多学科团队（MDT）如何利用远程信息处理手段在我们的研究所（AO SS Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo，亚历山德里亚）重组泌尿生殖系统癌症护理服务。此外，我们还介绍了有关患者满意度的初步结果。
COVID-19 pandemic strongly modified the organizations of our clinical practice. Strict containment measures have been adopted to limit the disease diffusion. In particular, hospital face-to-face post discharge and follow up visits have been reduced.Although cancelling or deferring appointments seems to be a pragmatic approach, this solution may have a devasting long-term impact on health medical care and on patients. In this context, telemedicine and remote consultations may have the potential to provide healthcare minimizing virus exposure.In this paper we describe how Multidisciplinary team (MDT) reorganized genitourinary cancer care delivery at our Institute (AO SS Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo, Alessandria), taking advantage of telematic means. Furthermore, we present our preliminary results regarding patients' satisfaction.
