The Clinician Change Virtual Care Toolkit provides tools and resources that support new and experienced clinicians or support staff to deliver safe, high-quality virtual care.
The Virtual Care Together design collaborative brought together 25 teams across Canada to prepare, implement and evaluate virtual care tools and resources that focused on community-based primary care. Between October 2021 and March 2022, teams tested and refined supports needed for community-based primary care providers to implement safe and high-quality virtual care services, and informed content development for a toolkit for new and experienced users of virtual care.
Care providers who participated in the collaborative include physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, physiotherapists and other providers, with experience in various settings including primary care, chronic disease prevention/management and health promotion, mental health and addictions, rehabilitation care, cancer care, health equity (e.g., groups in vulnerable settings), specialty care and emergency care.

The Clinician Change Virtual Care Toolkit was created by clinicians and virtual care experts who helped select key resources, published by trusted sources, and extract and synthesize information and evidence from these resources.
Virtual Care Together is part of the Change Management Program, which also includes the Digital Health Learning Program. Together, these programs help ensure that providers and other members of the care team, including patients and their essential care partners, are well-equipped to help transform care — so more people can benefit from safe and high-quality virtual care.
Virtual Care Together supports Healthcare Excellence Canada’s efforts to shift care closer to home with safe transitions, and is one of Canada Health Infoway’s initiatives to develop and expand virtual care solutions across the country.
