Help us spread the word on the Clinician Change Virtual Care Toolkit.
Supporting Change
Virtual care is here to stay, and it’s one way in which we can expand safe access to care. More than ever, we need to treat virtual care as an essential part of our health system to ensure Canadians have access to the right care, at the right time, in the right place. It’s time we embrace the change.
But we recognize that embracing change can be challenging, which is why Canada Health Infoway (Infoway), and Healthcare Excellence Canada (HEC) partnered to develop the Clinician Change Virtual Care Toolkit. It contains information synthesized from existing resources and tools that support clinicians and their support staff with the use and adoption of virtual care. The toolkit was informed by the Virtual Care Together Design Collaborative, 25 teams across Canada, and other subject matter experts who worked together to prepare, implement and evaluate virtual care tools and resources that focused on community-based primary care.
As a trusted source for information, we would appreciate if you could share this toolkit with your network. We have included social images, newsletter copy and suggested social media posts below that you can use.
