The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of telehealth within the cystic fibrosis (CF) community to deliver CF care. The article by Solomon and colleagues exploring the patient and family experiences of telehealth care delivery, as part of the CF chronic care model in the US, is therefore timely. In this commentary, we discuss how the US experience of telehealth care compares with reports from CF centres in other parts of the world. We highlight the potential challenges, including whether the inverse care law will apply in this new era of CF telehealth.
COVID-19 大流行加速了囊性纤维化 (CF) 社区内远程医疗的使用,以提供 CF 护理。因此,Solomon 及其同事的文章探讨了美国 CF 慢性病管理模式中远程医疗护理的患者和家庭体验,非常及时。在这篇评论中,我们讨论了美国远程医疗护理的经验如何与世界其他 CF 中心的报告进行比较。我们强调了潜在的挑战,包括在这个 CF 远程医疗新时代是否会适用逆向医疗保健法。
