The Added Value of Using Video in Out-of-Hours Primary Care Telephone Triage Among General Practitioners: Cross-Sectional Survey Study.

Background: Many countries have introduced video consultations in primary care both inside and outside of office hours. Despite some relational and technical limitations, general practitioners (GPs) have reported the benefits of video use in the daytime as it provides faster and more flexible access to health care. Studies have indicated that video may be specifically valuable in out-of-hours primary care (OOH-PC), but additional information on the added value of video use is needed.

How do parents experience video triage when seeking care for their acute ill children? A qualitative study in a Danish out-of-hours primary care setting.

Objective: The objective is to explore parents' experiences with telephone contacts to out-of-hours primary care (OOH-PC) that include use of one-way video ().

Setting: OOH-PC in the Central Denmark Region.

Reasons for encounter in video contacts at a Danish out-of-hours primary care service: a questionnaire study.

Objective: To investigate reasons for encounter in telephone triage contacts to an out-of-hours primary care service for which general practitioners (GPs) use video consultations (), overall and stratified for patient age and time of day.

Design: A cross-sectional questionnaire study among GPs doing telephone triage in an out-of-hours primary care service. The questionnaire was integrated into the electronic patient registration system, popping up after every third video contact.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on antibiotic prescription rates in out-of-hours primary care - a register-based study in Denmark.

Background: Antibiotic prescription rates can be affected by pandemic measures such as lockdowns, social distancing, and remote consultations in general practice. Therefore, such emergency states may negatively affect antimicrobial stewardship, specifically in out-of-hours (OOH) primary care. As contact patterns changed in the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be relevant to explore the impact on antimicrobial stewardship.
