A study carried out with input from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine showed that Ontario residents did not overuse hospital emergency visits during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to make up for the lack of in-person doctor appointments.

The research was carried out by Nadine Chami, Hemant A. Shah, Steve Nastos, Shaun Shaikh, Paul K. Tenenbein, Taylor Lougheed, Nikolina Mizdrak, Patrick Conlon, James G. Wright, Sharada Weir and Jasmin Kantarevic; scientists and physicians from several universities and health organizations, including NOSM.

According to the data, the study said the proportion of virtual visits was higher among female, younger and urban physicians, and the number of emergency department visits was lower among patients of female and urban physicians.
