General practitioners used video during the pandemic
GPs say that about half of the video consultations they did at the start of the corona pandemic were considered better or equally suitable as meeting in the office.
Norwegian GPs evaluated one or more video consultations they had had with their patients during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Two factors in particular were decisive for how suitable the video consultation felt to the doctor: previous knowledge of the problem and the patient. In this webinar, we present the study and a summary of which issues the GPs considered suitable and not suitable for video consultations during the pandemic.
Presentation by general practitioner and researcher Tor Magne Johnsen, general practitioner and researcher Børge Lønnebakke Norberg, and PhD student Eli Kristiansen at the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research.
