Moving to Virtual Care: Pros & Cons of Different Platforms

Registered Member

In order to continue to meet the needs of children, youth and families during COVID-19 many service-providing agencies are quickly moving to virtual care. Some platforms that service providers are using include: ThinkResearch , oncallhealth.ca and Zoom for Healthcare. It looks like all of these platforms are HIPPA and PIPEDA/PHIPA compliant. However, only the first two are Canadian/have servers in Canada which is important. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share which platform they are using and/or the pros and cons of these and other platforms. I did notice that the Center of Excellence for Child & Youth Mental Health recently posted a rapid, non-systematic scan of practice guidelines to support the sector as we explore alternatives to face-to-face mental health care. Scroll down to e-mental health services HERE to view this info.

Looking forward to thoughts/suggestions. Feel free to DM, if preferred. TIA
