The Canadian Family Physicians association has provided a great resource for reference on what would be deemed safe and unsafe to address through virtual care: You can reference the guideline and article here: https://www.cfp.ca/content/cfp/70/5/322.full.pdf But in short here is a quick list of what can and should not be booked for virtual medical care: In the case that it is deemed that a health concern cannot be seen through virtual medical consult, clients will be redirected to the most appropriate avenue for care. NP Jen recommends families who are unable to easily access a local clinic and therefore would need to rely on virtual medicine to reduce trips to the Emergency/Hospital setting to have the following health assessment tools on hand (as applicable to their chief health concerns and conditions): - digital oral thermometer - home digital otoscope/ear camera - personal use automated blood pressure machine - digital health monitor that can assess heart rate and respiratory rate - home glucometer (if diabetic or have issues with or taking medication for sugar regulation) - home urine test strips that can test for ketones, leukocytes, and blood - home INR monitor (if being prescribed warfarin/coumadin)
