Context: 

? Virtual care has transformed healthcare delivery in Canada and around the world. When an in-person visit with a health care provider isn't possible or even desirable, having access to virtual care can mean the difference between a patient receiving the care necessary to improve their health or dealing with the consequences of untreated ailments. 

? When patients and clinicians opt for virtual care, they can help prevent the spread of infections, save time and money, engage in more timely medical interventions and enjoy flexibility with regard to receiving and delivering health care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual care enabled patients to continue receiving the care they needed while keeping themselves and their families safe. 

? Virtual care can benefit a variety of patients, such as people with mobility issues, residents living in remote areas, and busy parents and workers who want the convenience of connecting through their device (possibly avoiding child care services or time off work a result). 

? Considering the benefits, it's no surprise that the adoption of virtual care solutions and services is growing across Canada's entire health system.
