Virtual Care Functionality in EMR

For providers using eDOCSNL, there are several virtual care applications integrated into Med Access. Resources and links for these are provided. Deployment and support for these applications is provided by TELUS Health.

Virtual care applications within Med Access enable virtual visits with patients directly from the provider’s schedule. The Med Access Mobile app also makes virtual visits accessible by smartphone or tablet.

Virtual appointments are eligible for payment through MCP if you are a fee-for-service physician.
