Telehealth Consent
Please read this document carefully before proceeding with a consultation.
1. Nature of Telehealth
Telehealth involves the use of electronic communications to enable healthcare providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up, and/or education.
By utilizing our platform, you gain improved access to top-tier medical care, enabling you to receive evaluations and treatments from the comfort of your home or office. This streamlined approach offers a more efficient medical management process while providing you direct access to the expertise of highly qualified specialists who might otherwise be geographically inaccessible.
3. Possible Risks
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telehealth. While rare, the information transmitted may occasionally be insufficient—such as poor resolution of uploaded documents—to allow for appropriate medical decision making. Additionally, delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to technical deficiencies, and in highly unlikely instances, security protocols could fail, potentially causing a breach of privacy.
By proceeding with your consultation, you acknowledge:
You have read and understood the information provided above regarding telehealth, have discussed it with your physician or such assistants as may be designated, and all of your questions have been answered to your satisfaction.
