Shaping the Future of Virtual Care – Last Call!

Posted on: October 31, 2022

The Virtual Care Services program at Island Health has grown exponentially over the past three years. We have arrived at an important stage of development and need to chart our way forward building on the growth. 

In order to build our plan, we must understand our current state, learn more about where the industry is going, and hear from those with whom we work in order to design a service that supports excellence in the delivery of care virtually - everywhere, every time.

We are inviting all Island Health staff to share their ideas about the future of virtual care via an online survey. Whether you are a physician, nurse, allied health provider, program administrator, scheduling clerk, volunteer, or patient … we want to hear from you. 

Maybe you have thoughts about how new technologies like artificial intelligence or 'smart' devices can improve care, or you have ideas around how to improve digital literacy for patients and providers… tell us what matters to you.

The survey will take approximately 5 - 15 minutes to complete dependant on how much you want to share! The link to the survey is available at [https://surveys.viha.ca/surveys/VCS-clinical-staff​] and we will be closing out the survey on November, 4th 2022. Information shared by our survey respondents will remain anonymous.

If you have any questions, or would prefer to discuss your thoughts with one of our team members, please enter your name and contact details where indicated on the last page of the survey or you may also contact us directly via email at virtualcare@islandhealth.ca​ or by telephone at 250-519-1944 to set up a time with us.
