In-person or virtual care visits?

As family physicians begin to expand their use of in-person care during the COVID-19 pandemic, physicians are now being asked to determine which patient care services should be conducted in-person and which should be conducted by phone/video. 

As all of us are learning how to deliver care in the midst of this pandemic, we have created some decision-making tools to assist you in honing your clinical judgement.

1. How do you balance the benefits and risks of providing in-person or virtual care for patients?

2. What is the most appropriate modality for each patient care service?

We encourage you to use these tools along with The Doctor is In: Recommendations for expanding in-person care in community-based physician practices.
