About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who reported that their last virtual consultation was with a health professional who connected by another virtual method.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Primary Health Survey and Primary Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who had a virtual care consultation in the last 12 months. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "by video using a computer, tablet or telephone, by email, by text messaging or other " by the number of respondents who answered "talking on the telephone, by video using a computer, tablet or telephone, by email, by text messaging, online chat or other " to the question: Thinking of the last time you had a virtual consultation, how did you connect with this health professional?
