REGINA ‑ The Government of Saskatchewan is seeking feedback from patients and health care providers on their experiences with virtual care.
Saskatchewan adopted new methods to safely connect patients to their doctor or another health care provider two years ago, through virtual care via telephone call, text, email and video.
"We want to hear what both patients and health care workers have to say about their experience," says Health Minister Paul Merrima.
"And if you haven't used virtual care, we'd like to hear about that too. I encourage everyone to participate as we work to shape the future of virtual care."
The information gathered will be used to develop a long-term provincial strategy around virtual care. The province is also seeking input from health system partners and other affected organizations on their experience using virtual care over the last two years.
Visit virtualcare.saskatchewan.ca to participate. There are several ways to provide input, such as voting in polls, completing a survey, and sharing a story or idea. Participation opportunities will be open until April 30.
For an alternate method of participation, call 306-787-6750 or email virtualcare@health.gov.sk.ca.
