Virtual Care

 

With the same goal, yet known by multiple names - telehealth (AKA telemedicine, e-health, virtual care, remote medicine, mobile health, etc.), it is the way millions now choose to receive their healthcare information and ongoing support from qualified healthcare professionals.

 

Just think - no travel time, no uncomfortable waiting rooms, no childcare required (or at least significantly less depending on the visit type), no time off work needed, no parking concerns, all while receiving the care you need from the comfort of home.

​

Both healthcare professionals and their patients and/or clients are reporting there is an overall impressive increase in efficiency and convenience and in most cases equal effectiveness of virtual healthcare appointments when compared to the in-person experience. This is a great shift for the healthcare systems around the globe.

There will always a place and need for in-person appointments, but there is now also a place and growing demand for care from a distance - whatever distance that may be.

Infinity is honoured to offer a wonderful growing network of natural/holistic healthcare practitioners, all licensed to practice on Ontario.

FAQ

​

• Does insurance cover telemedicine/virtual care?
  The short answer to this is most of the time, but check your plan to confirm. The long answer is that in recent years, many insurance companies are adding this service coverage to their plans.
   

• How can a doctor/healthcare practitioner know what’s going on with a virtual visit?
  The practitioner is constantly observing the patient/client during the visit by both listening and visually via the video chat. Similar to an in-person visit.
   

• What quality of care will a telehealth/virtual patient/client receive?
  Very high. The patient experience is often enhanced by fewer stressors presenting in order to arrive physically at an appointment (i.e. traffic, parking, waiting rooms, childcare, time off work, etc.)
   

• What types of healthcare visits can telehealth/virtual care provide?
  Many, and the list is growing. Initially only consultations were promoted, but quickly more services were appreciated to be accessible from home, i.e. yoga, pilates, physiotherapy, fitness, energy healing, etc.
