The Partnering on Appropriate Virtual Care collaborative will support primary care practices, organizations and multidisciplinary teams from across Canada to determine when and how virtual care should be used in their unique healthcare settings.
Participants will develop a framework that supports shared decision-making with patients, ensuring choices around virtual care are based on patient needs and capabilities, their care requirements and clinician capacity.
This program runs between January and November 2023 and involves a range of online learning and design activities. Learn more in the detailed project overview.
The application period for this project has now closed.
This initiative builds on the Virtual Care Together design collaborative, delivered in partnership by HEC and Canada Health Infoway.

As more healthcare is delivered via video visits, telephone, email and secure messaging, there’s a rising need to ensure it’s done appropriately and safely. HEC invited care providers working in two different contexts to share their insights on using virtual care, why “appropriateness” matters and ways to address it.
