Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Primary Care practices rapidly transitioned to providing services to their patients through a hybrid of in-person and virtual visits. Virtual care has left clinicians feeling disconnected from their patients and a goal of both clinicians and all those providing support to clinical office practice is to continue a safe return to in-person care.
