Deep River and District Health is introducing the Integrated Virtual Care at the North Renfrew Family Health Team. Patients receive primary care through a blend of in-clinic and at-home options, depending on the patients’ needs and preferences. Options to connect with family physicians include messaging, phone and video calls from the patients’ home and enhanced telemedicine options at the NRFHT. Patients are attached to a family physician who oversees their primary care, working with the on-site team at the NRFHT. Patients can access the Family Health Team’s services, including nursing practitioners, RPN’s, dietitians, social workers, and administrative supports. First implemented at the Petawawa Centennial Family Health Team in 2021, IVC serves nearly 3000 patients.
