Virtual care, Telemedicine, and eVisits
As the pandemic evolved, the need for virtual healthcare increased. Our telehealth coordinator and
members of our team partnered with the Baycrest Telemedicine Rapid Implementa on Team (TRIM) to
support physicians in the Apotex Centre, Jewish Home for the Aged and Baycrest Hospital to see their clients
via Zoom© or the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN). This support included providing training, developing
toolkits, and offering live sessions for staff and physicians.
The TRIM team also deployed "t-carts" to pa ent care units to enable virtual visits between clients,
residents, and their families and reduce feelings of isola on during lockdown. T-carts are mobile carts on
wheels fi ed with a large screen or tablet. For successful virtual care appointments and consults, members
of the Centre for Educa on team co-created plain language, onboarding packages to boost client and family
confidence in virtual visits.
