Technology Use among Rural Community Residents during COVID-19 Pandemic

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic there has been an increase in the use of Virtual Health/Telehealth by many physicians and nurse practitioners in Kootenay Boundary. Dr. Kathy Rush, IHCLDP Associate and professor in nursing, and her team are learning more about practitioner experiences undertaking virtual health appointments with patients, as well as the experiences of rural community patients during COVID-19. The study she has underway will identify gaps in support for telehealth adoption and learn about barriers to use so that we can find solutions for future use of virtual health options.
