Able to do Virtually
A range of virtual health individual education visits can be offered, addressing issues across the lifespan. While these are well suited to being virtual, it will be important to assess access and skills related to technology to best determine how to provide education. Some education may require illustration, sharing of handouts (which may be limited for some patients virtually), and some may require patient to perform actions (e.g. breastfeeding latch).
