Impact of COVID-19 on Dutch General Practitioner Prenatal Primary Care: Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study Using an Interrupted Time-Series Approach

Impact of COVID-19 on Dutch General Practitioner Prenatal Primary Care: Retrospective, Observational Cohort Study Using an Interrupted Time-Series Approach

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused profound changes in health care–seeking behavior globally, especially within primary general practitioner (GP) care settings, where a significant decline in use was observed following the outbreak of the pandemic [1-5]. This decline in GP health care visits was shown to be driven by factors such as lockdown measures and heightened fears of viral transmission [1].

General Practitioners’ Perspectives About Remote Dermatology Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Netherlands: Questionnaire-Based Study

General Practitioners’ Perspectives About Remote Dermatology Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Netherlands: Questionnaire-Based Study

Moreover, this type of service has enabled Dutch GPs to continually provide dermatology care to patients while minimizing the number of (unnecessary) conventional face-to-face consultations (in dermatology or GP practice) and the risk of exposure to SARS-Co V-2. The Netherlands is one of the few countries where an integrated remote digital dermatology service in GP care has been operating, integrated, and fully reimbursed since 2006 [12].

The Usability of Homelab, a Digital Self-service at a Dutch General Practice, for Diagnostic Tests: Pilot Study With a Questionnaire

The Usability of Homelab, a Digital Self-service at a Dutch General Practice, for Diagnostic Tests: Pilot Study With a Questionnaire

Patients can use Homelab to order diagnostic tests online without going to the GP for a diagnostic test referral. After ordering a test on Homelab, the patient’s GP needs to authorize the ordered test; this way, GPs can monitor what is being ordered. Authorizing the ordered tests ensures that the tests are reimbursed health care. A consultation is scheduled when a diagnostic test result is abnormal or a disease or a condition is present. Both the patient and the GP can view the test result online.

To Refer or Not to Refer in Teledermoscopy: Retrospective Study

To Refer or Not to Refer in Teledermoscopy: Retrospective Study

In addition, these previous TDsc studies were often carried out in a study setting where the feasibility of TDsc was examined with a simulated TDsc service that was not yet integrated into GP daily practice. Furthermore, in some of these TDsc studies, the GP did not act as a gatekeeper, the referral decision was made by a (tele)dermatologist and not by a GP, or the photos of the skin lesions were not acquired by the GP themself but, for example, by a trained nurse (also called a melanographer) [6-11].
