An audio visit may be an acceptable alternative if insufficient bandwidth is available to support a video visit.

Solutions should allow different audio and video sources to be used during an event. For example, the clinician could use a standard webcam and a hand-held exam camera in the same event.

Virtual visit solutions will allow providers to send surveys to patients in order to: 

• Administer certain types of clinical questionnaires prior to an encounter (e.g., relating to mental health, child development, post-operative care)
• Support quality improvement efforts and patient experience reporting (e.g., at the end of a virtual care encounter)

Physicians participating in the provincial pilot identified this feature as important in order to confirm that medical advice has been received before a visit can be completed.

Clinicians should authenticate using more than one piece of evidence to access the solution (2FA).

Examples:

• FOB + PIN
• Password + Security question
• Password + Authentication app
• Authenticator + SMS/Phone call

Solutions should allow other care team members to join in a secure messaging visit. This can include reading or creating messages.
