Virtual Primary Care Report

Mission: Validating what primary care encounters can be virtual.

We're designing a report of the top 100 chief complaints that can be taken care of virtually to allow clinics to transition from a physical only encounter to a mix of physical and virtual.

Intro

  • 2.1 billion encounters per year in US[1]
  • Have cell phone, have access to care, everywhere
  • Too expensive
  • Doctor burnout, # of clinicians, gap is widening between Dr to patient, practice anywhere
  • Breakdown of what we can do virtually and physically
  • New reimbursement models for virtual care
  • Financial impact to Primarcy Care industry (what if 20% moves to virtual, 50%, 70%)

Draft Documents

Breakdown of what primary care encounters can be completed virtually

Further Research Needs

  • How each visit reason can be conducted virtually
  • What health data needs to be collected for each reason for visit
  • Economic impact of each visit reason that is virtual
  • License for the data
  • Data overlap with Determinants of Health
  • Increasing the list of reasons for visits to top 50 or 100 for analyzing
  • Rule-set for identifying visit type (virtual or face-to-face)
