Popis: ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine if patient satisfaction with teleconsults during the COVID-19 pandemic, both with and without corresponding car-side weight measurements, was different from satisfaction with in-person visits prior to the pandemic.MethodsRetrospective descriptive and quantitative analysis was used to examine existing patient satisfaction data collected via email survey from patients who completed at least one in-person visit from March 2019 to February 2020 or at least one teleconsult during April or May 2020.ResultsRespondents reported high levels of satisfaction with teleconsults. Approximately 97% of respondents found teleconsults helpful. Satisfaction with teleconsults during the pandemic, both with and without car-side weight measurements, was similar to satisfaction with in-person visits prior to the pandemic.ConclusionProviding families with teleconsults in conjunction with car-side weight measurements was a successful model for providing lactation services to patients during the COVD-19 pandemic.
