Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic forced health systems to rapidly shift to deliver healthcare virtually, however, there is a limited understanding of this shift from the patient's perspective. We conducted semi-structured interviews with patients in three clinical areas (mental health, chronic care, and surgical care) and used patient journey mapping to visualize their experiences. Themes suggest that (1) patient's preference of modalities was contextually dependent, (2) that providers must continually converse with patients to select appropriate modalities, and (3) that providers must account for multiple factors such as a patient's digital and health literacy, comfort level with the modality and their medical needs.
