In the family medicine practice example (above) the practice could add an additional 800 virtual visits or 600 in-person visits to
their panel each year for every 10% shift of volume to virtual visits. From a physical space perspective, if the practice chooses
to maximize their provider productivity by backfilling with the 600 in-person visits, the practice still needs less exam room space
than before the shift to virtual care. Clinic consolidations and the reduction of future real estate needed will help lower overhead
costs and maximize revenue per square foot.
