Abstract
- For virtual care models to be able to improve the safety and quality of care, it is essential to identify the strengths and weaknesses of virtual care. In this Scoping review, literature published on virtual care was identified using international databases. The results of the included studies were summarized using a predefined taxonomy. In total, 20 studies were included in the present review. Extracting the findings of the articles showed four main topics, including "virtual care delivery models," "Video conference software platforms to provide virtual care," "virtual care delivery challenges," and "virtual care implementation facilitators." Therefore, with the development of emerging digital technologies, unique opportunities to provide virtual care and improve the provision of health services have been created in the health care system worldwide. Multifunctional video conference software platforms using specific models for each scope of care practice should be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
