*4.1. Implications of This Study*

Admittedly, only a fraction of healthcare professionals' specializations was included in the reviewed studies. The knowledge of the experience of surgeons, midwives, dental care professionals, and specialized physicians other than those included in this study is limited and should be studied in the future to get a clearer picture of their perspectives. The COVID-19 pandemic is surely transforming remote care, and there have already been studies that described the shift towards digital care visits and the organizational changes [11,18,72,73]. However, a more detailed review of how the perspectives have changed and how the rapid adoption has affected the use and experience of clinicians could be beneficial in the future. Moreover, more research could be done on the usability of digital care visits integrated into the EHR systems because, so far, the clinicians mostly use separate platforms. In addition, more explorations of how digital care visits could be combined with in-person care and the perspectives of professionals, patients, and caregivers on this approach could be studied further. Finally, more studies regarding the use of digital care visits in self-management and follow-up of chronically ill patients are needed. Knowing how digital care visits affect patient safety is also of interest to be studied in the future. Moreover, studying the economic impact of digital care visits on health care is also of great importance.
