The pandemic has shown that #VirtualCare is best used as a complement to in-person care. (QUALITY AND SAFETY)

The choice of modality (#phone vs #video vs #InPerson) needs to be made by the patient and physician together. (#PERSONCENTRED)
@BCFamilyDoctors @DoctorsOfBC @BCCFP @adriandix #bchealthcare #bcpoli
This means ensuring that funding support does not vary by the #modality/way in which the physician and patient connect. (MODALITY NEUTRAL REMUNERATION)
@BCFamilyDoctors @DoctorsOfBC @BCCFP @adriandix #bchealthcare #bcpoli
Reducing funding to phone and video visits exacerbates inequities among #underserved and #marginalized communities (e.g can’t leave work to go to the doctor). (#EQUITY)
