Home visiting faced a significant transition in 2020 when programs switched from in-person sessions to virtual visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the shutdowns continued, home visiting models began to develop guidance on what constitutes a virtual home visit for data collection and reporting.

• How many models developed guidance for reporting and what factors did they consider in determining what “counts” as a virtual visit?
• What are commonalities and differences among model definitions of virtual home visits?
