Implementation of remote units in two large out-of-hours emergency primary care districts in Norway
Establishing remote OOH units could have decreased contact and consultation rates in both districts. Most contacts were handled with actions other than a remote OOH unit encounter with video consultation. There was a large reduction of home visits and callouts in the Molde OOH district in 2021, compared with 2019.
