Challenges in Hybrid General Practice

The shift to hybrid general practice has introduced complexities that can impact the quality of care provided to patients. Practices now often utilize a mix of in-person and digital consultations, leading to potential inefficiencies and duplications, such as multiple clinician slots being taken up for a single patient issue. Additionally, staffing changes and the integration of new technologies have complicated workflows further. While hybrid systems offer benefits like convenience and flexibility, they sometimes compromise elements like patient-centeredness and continuity of care.
