Virtual Care Community
The many definitions highlight that virtual care is an open and constantly evolving science, as it incorporates new advancements in technology and responds and adapts to the changing health needs and contexts of societies.
This emerges to provide a community of practice to:
- Create a unified voice for virtual care across all healthcare fields, share knowledge & best practices
- Support and promote the importance of patient experience within virtual care and its crucial role in the future healthcare delivery
- Increase recognition of virtual care solutions to deliver and make improvements to care
