Background: The SARS-CoV2 pandemic as well as the implementation of public health measures to decrease the spread of the virus re-sparked the call for "virtual" health or "distance" treatments. This paper aimed to assess the use of video consultations, the up-to-dateness of practice websites, and the views of GPs on whether eHealth is a positive aspect for the future of their practices in publicly -funded primary healthcare facilities in Austria.
Methods: The cross-sectional online questionnaire, part of the PRICOV-19 study, was conducted from December 2020 until July 2021.

- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered primary care, prompting training practices to adapt their clinical work and teaching methods to ensure safe and effective care.
- A study named PRICOV-19 assessed primary care practices across 38 countries to examine how being a training practice impacted safety culture, including factors like professional well-being and adherence to safety protocols.
- Results showed that training practices had a stronger safety culture, lower risk of adverse mental health events, and more effective patient flow measures, suggesting that increasing educational involvement in primary care could enhance overall quality and safety.
