In February 2020, we explored the promise of virtual care. Over the last two years of the pandemic, the popularity and usage of virtual care has increased dramatically.
Join us as we reflect on lessons learned on virtual care over the last two years. We will hear from patients and health care leaders on the enablers and barriers to delivering and using virtual care during the pandemic, as well as exploring the future opportunities of virtual care in Ontario. This session will foster an open dialogue on both the challenges and innovations that emerged and look to the future.
