Virtual Care and You: Answers From the People in Charge
Legal and Policy leaders from the IPC, CPSO, and OntarioMD will gather for a unique roundtable discussion on the current state of virtual care in Ontario.
Methods for delivering care, as well as the expectations placed on practitioners, have evolved substantially in response to lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the CPSO introduced an entirely new Telemedicine policy and a new Physician Services Agreement has changed the nature of billing for virtual care services. OntarioMD’s general counsel will facilitate a discussion to distill what you need to know about the standard of care and each of these regulatory developments. Policy leaders from the CPSO and IPC will further explain how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced policy development and will elaborate about how virtual care will look moving forward. You should leave this session with a clear understanding of what virtual care looks like today, why it matters to the healthcare system, and what it is likely to look like moving forward.
Do you have questions? Are you confused by complex consent requirements and dense policy language? Take this unique opportunity to ask your questions directly to those in charge. Ample time will be provided.
