General Practitioners' Experiences of Professional Uncertainties Emerging from the Introduction of Video Consultations in General Practice: Qualitative Study.

The uncertainties experienced by Danish GPs appear to be a typical reaction to the introduction of new technology. Embedding video consultation technology into GPs' working routines will take time, and GPs do not necessarily feel intuitively capable of transferring their abilities, such as being good and socially present for video-mediated consultations. The heterogeneity of professional uncertainties experienced among the GPs suggests that they are the product of individual GP-technology relationships-not of the technology in itself. Consequently, we cannot expect that uncertainties can be remedied by changing or precluding new technology.
