There are various ways that residents can participate in a virtual care:
- Phone call with supervisor and resident in the same location (e.g. patient on speaker)
- Phone call with supervisor in a separate location (e.g. 3-way call; conference call)
- Hybrid: Separate phone call with patient, review with supervisor, then 3-way conference call with patient and supervisor
- Video call with supervisor and resident in the same location
- Video call with supervisor participating but in a separate location
- Audio or video recorded patient encounter reviewed by teacher/supervisor later
*** Recording requires express patient consent and would need to be compliant with site protocols re: consent, and patient record procedures for saving, storage, and deletion of patient information ***
