Clinically Appropriate Use of Virtual Care – Guidance for Primary Care

On December 5, 2022

On November 9, Ontario Health released new virtual care guidance materials for primary care clinicians. The ‘Clinically Appropriate Use of Virtual Care Guidance for Primary Care’ aims to help primary care clinicians feel supported in the decisions they make related to the planning and delivery of virtual care.

This is ‘phase one’ of the virtual care guidance for primary care. More detailed virtual care guidance will be released in the future, including materials focused on other specialties and areas of care.

The virtual care guidance for primary care materials were developed with a patient-centred care approach and informed by an expert panel of clinicians and patients.

The virtual care guidance materials can be accessed at Ontariohealth.ca/virtualcareguidance.

A French version of the virtual care guidance is also available at Ontariohealth.ca/fr/guidesoinsvirtuels.
