This systematic review seeks to identify and review existing safety measures that could be used for safety evaluation of virtual consultations in primary care.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This has been conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and followed a published protocol. A systematic literature search was performed in Ovid MEDLINE\/PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases from 2014 to 2024. Studies comparing virtual consultations with face-to-face consultations in the primary care setting were included. An inductive thematic analysis was performed to systematically extract and group the safety measures into overarching themes, with a narrative synthesis to summarise the results.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 47 studies (31 experimental and 16 observational studies) were included (n=2 223 697 patients). All studies assessed the safety of virtual versus face-to-face consultations via one or both of the following domains: (1) factors that influence the safety of virtual consultations and (2) tangible outcomes of virtual care safety. The former were categorised into provider-related, patient-related and system-related factors. Tangible outcomes were evident through three subthemes\u2014adverse events, health outcomes and patient perception of safety.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This review provides a systematic synthesis of measures for the safety evaluation of virtual consultations. Further research into patient and physician perspectives is needed to identify aspects and indicators not captured in this study, followed by a consensus study to finalise safety metrics. Ultimately, having a robust methodology for safety evaluation of virtual consultations in place will enable safety monitoring, root cause analyses and safety improvement.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>PROSPERO registration number<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>PROSPERO CRD42023464878.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjqs-2025-018712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,31]],"date-time":"2025-07-31T05:45:28Z","timestamp":1753940728000},"page":"bmjqs-2025-018712","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Patient safety measures for virtual consultations in primary care: a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1136","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0346-2326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tetiana","family":"Lunova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Policy, Institute of Global Health Innovation, Imperial College London, London, UK"}]},{"given":"Katherine-Helen","family":"Hurndall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Policy, Institute of Global Health Innovation, Imperial College London, London, UK"}]},{"given":"Ulrik Bak","family":"Kirk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2892-1245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bryony Dean","family":"Franklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Director, Centre for Medication Safety and Service Quality, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK"},{"name":"Department of Practice and Policy, UCL School of Pharmacy, London, UK"}]},{"given":"Ara","family":"Darzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Policy, Institute of Global Health Innovation, Imperial College London, London, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7107-7211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Luisa","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Imperial College London, London, UK"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090409553667000_bmjqs-2025-018712v2.1","unstructured":"Health Tech Newspaper .
