Hello Community.
This note is to bring your attention to new article published in JMIR on the topic of Virtual Visits and Patient Centered care[/url]
Last summer, Infoway shared preliminary research findings on patient perspectives of virtual visits. To establish new evidence in the Canadian context we conducted a three-part qualitative and quantitative research program that included a patient survey, interviews with physicians, and a population based study to understand the characteristics of patients using virtual visits and the physicians in Canada providing this service.
We are happy to share with you today the complete body of results from this research, including the peer-reviewed population-based study published this month in the open access Journal of Medical Internet Research.
Results from this program of research suggest that this new model of care is responsive to patients’ needs and could offer health system value including the potential to lower primary care costs.
I invite you to review the
study results
, or listen to
a webinar
to learn more about the findings.
And lastly Happy Canada Day Weekend to all!
