Four years later, virtual care continues to be a focal point of health care delivery with the ensuing spread of both hybrid models (ie, a blend of in-person and virtual care) and virtual clinics (ie, virtual-only service delivery platforms with built-in electronic medical records). Nurse practitioners are identified globally as essential components of the effective and sustainable delivery of health care models. However, while both virtual care and nurse practitioners are recognized as critical cornerstones of health care innovation, there is a gap in what is known about care provision by nurse practitioners in virtual clinics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Eligibility criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Articles exploring care provided by nurse practitioners in virtual health care clinics will be included.
