Increasing use of telephone and video virtual care after Michigan shelter‐in‐place order. Weekly trends in geriatric outpatient visits, by in‐person vs virtual formats, showing a steep increase in telephone virtual care vs a slower uptake in video visits. The baseline proportion before the Michigan state order to shelter in place on March 13, 2020 (black vertical dashed line), is indicated by the blue horizontal line at 100% for in‐person visits, and maroon and green dashed lines for virtual formats at 0%. The x axis indicates the week (beginning date) and the total number of visits in parentheses. The 95% confidence intervals are indicated around each proportion and were obtained using the three‐part categorical outcome for type of visit with week as the only categorical predictor (Stata 14.2).
