Abstract

The aim of this project is to use video calling in general practice to better reach patients. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is currently not desirable to have many patients come to the GP practice for a physical appointment. By using screen care, patients can still have contact with their GP, practice nurse or doctor's assistant. During the Covid-19 pandemic, but also afterwards, screen care can improve the accessibility of the practice and the efficiency of communication between doctor and patient. With the help of an implementation coach, the right technology will be selected and an action plan will be drawn up and implemented. The coach will provide guidance in training healthcare providers on how to use the technology. In addition, patients and caregivers will be asked to provide feedback on the use of video calling.
