Aarhus University
Research Unit for General Practice
I have worked in the Danish Healthcare Sector for 10+ years, ultimately gaining my experience and expertise in Digital Health - facilitating Public-Private Partnerships to improve Research and Innovation - in the European Primary Health Care setting. From January 2021, I will function as Coordinator of the 'Finding Endometriosis using Machine Learning' (FEMaLe) project, which will develop and demonstrate a Scalable Multi-Omics Platform (SMOP) that converts multi-omic person population datasets into a personalised predictive model to improve intervention along the continuum of care for people with endometriosis. The FEMaLe project has been granted € 5.944.134,5 by the European Commission. Furthermore, I am going to take up a position as part-time PhD Fellow at the Research Unit for General Practice (FEAP) in Aarhus, Denmark, building upon the following COVID-19 funded Digital Health projects: "ReMoTe: Refining Remote Assessment in Primary Care during Covid-19" In May 2020, I - as Principal Investigator of the project - was granted DKK 4.3 million by the Innovation Fund Denmark to research into different aspects of video consultations in general practice. The grant was the first major investment in corona-related research in the primary healthcare sector. "CoronaLytics: A 360 degree mobile/wearable data household approach to guide shared precision health and decision-making during the COVID-19 epidemic" In June 2020, our interdisciplinary team was granted DKK 3.9 million by the Innovation Fund Denmark to combine and analyse health data obtained from citizens and their general practitioners during the first wave of the corona crisis.

Abstract

Abstract Body

1. Background and purpose
Virtual consultations were rapidly introduced in General Practice in Denmark in March 2020 to reduce risk of contagion of Covid-19. A shift from inperson to remote consulting occurred. General practitioners faced a new disease and new ways of interacting with patients. Patients had to adjust to changing channels of communication with their GP. Both were equally unprepared and lacked guidance.

In ReMoTe, we co-created and rapidly tested the supporting materials in General Practice in only seven months to improve the implementation of video consultations in General Practice. The insights will be utilised to inspire participants how to devise an interactive video consultation guide in their own context.

2. Methods
a. Introduction to the workshop, 0-5 min.
b. Co-creation: The development of the ReMoTe guide, 5-15 min.
c. Content: The ReMoTe guide deconstructed, 15-25 min.
d. Introduction to group work, 25-30 min.
e. Contextualising the ReMoTe guide, 30-60 min.
f. Presentation of identified themes and topics, 60-70 min.
g. Discussion, 70-85 min.
h. Concluding remarks and next steps, 85-90 min.

3. Results
The discussion of themes and topics in the middle section of this interactive workshop will inform and motivate spin-off processes with the ambition to co-create local guides for video consultations in General Practice, characterised by a shift from inperson to remote consulting.

4. Conclusion
We will unfold the ReMoTe co-creation process and share the guide on video consultations with European GPs to inspire broader uptake. The European Society for Quality and Safety in Family Practice (EQuiP) will catalyse discussions online after the end of this workshop.
