Speakers: Sean FitzGerald and Leanne Loranger In 2025 a new standard of practice related to virtual care by Alberta physiotherapists came into effect. On this episode, Sean and Leanne discuss the history and evolution of the regulation of virtual care by the CPTA and the expectations physiotherapists need to meet when providing virtual physiotherapy services. They highlight the resources available to help physiotherapists understand what is required when providing virtual care, including the Virtual Care Guide published in 2025. Much has changed in the virtual health care sector since the College's original Telerehabilitation Guide was published in 2018, for example in terms of the number of physiotherapists providing virtual care, the profession's collective level of experience with use of virtual care, and the different models and applications of virtual care used by physiotherapists. Both physiotherapists and physiotherapy regulatory organizations have become more experienced and knowledgeable in how virtual care can be used to deliver physiotherapy services and as a result regulation and our guidance to registrants about virtual care in physiotherapy practice has evolved. Despite the changing virtual care environment, one thing remains constant: the expectations for physiotherapy service delivery using virtual care technologies, in terms of quality, safety, and effectiveness, are no different than those for in-person services. Listen to this episode to learn more about virtual physiotherapy services and how you can achieve this objective!

“Utilization is key for virtual urgent care. Let us be your first line of defense, rather than like, ‘oh, I do have a telemedicine on the back of my insurance card, I'm not sure what it does.'” - Jon O'Toole Especially in the last few years (for obvious reasons), telehealth and virtual care have proved that they're here to stay. But how do we best determine when a patient should use virtual or in-person care, and how do we actually get them to utilize it? Jon O'Toole, from Recuro Health, joined me this week to share his take. The benefits of virtual care are pretty clear: quicker access to appointments for patients at a much lower cost. As Jon shares, it's extremely important to educate patients on their virtual benefits and to make the experience easy and tailored for them. Jon also speaks about virtual urgent care, which can add a ton of value and help alleviate some of the panic that sets in when a health emergency occurs.

I was skeptical about whether "Virtual Care" would be a good service for home care agencies, but I was proven wrong. In summary, this is a great way to differentiate your agency and to add a high-margin service. Our guest is Stephan Habermeyer who is the CEO at Calico.Care. Here are some highlights of what we learned:Virtual Care provides a way to monitor the well-being of home care clients throughout the day and night.Some agencies are using this for the classic scenario where the family wants home care for their mom, but the mom is not ready. They combine the virtual care with visits (live and/or virtual) from a care coordinator (at a high charge) and usually within a short time, the client agrees to add caregiver hours.The margins are high. As an example, some agencies are charging $1/hour for virtual care ($720 a month) and the cost is generally $200. Other agencies are charging $1,000/month or more.Another way that agencies are deploying the service is to add virtual care to a 30 or 40 hour a week client.The basic system comes with motion sensors and an Amazon Alexa. Plus the system comes with its own internet (no need to connect to wifi)Everything comes in a preconfigured kit and the devices are labeled, plus they walk the home care agency through it on facetime. All they need to do is plug in two plugs and stick the sensors on the wall. Batteries will need to be replaces in around 2 years (but by that time, you'll have made $15,000.The family gets to monitor their own loved one with an app, but agencies are also providing a monitoring service by paying overnight caregivers an extra fee for monitoring.Bottom line, this looks like a great way to add high-margin revenue and to differentiate your service from competitors.To learn more about the solution, go to the website https://www.calico.care/ or email them at info@calico.care.
