Hybrid Models of Care Improve Access to Emergency Services Across Canada

Long wait times, a shortage of physicians and nurses, rising costs, and inequitable access to care, particularly in rural areas, are putting an immense strain on Canada’s health system and viable solutions are critical.

Hybrid care, which leverages technology to combine in-person care with virtual clinicians, is solving some of healthcare’s biggest challenges. It directly drives each pillar of the Quintuple Aim—enhancing patient experience, improving population health, lowering costs, improving provider well-being, and advancing health equity—by offering a flexible, accessible, and patient-centred approach to healthcare delivery.

At Teladoc Health Canada, we partner with health authorities across the country to embed our remote clinicians into their emergency department operations and teams to deliver high-quality, accessible, and sustainable hybrid care for all Canadians no matter where they live.
