General Information and “Informed Consent”:
Before we get started, please read this important information for you to be aware of with telemedicine appointments. If you prefer to do in-person appointments, that is an option. Please discuss this with Dr. Little-Cooper.
Benefits of telehealth:
– Less risk of exposure to illnesses such as COVID
-Talk to your provider from anywhere, even your home
Potential risks/downsides of telehealth:
– Your provider cannot examine you as closely as at an office visit – we don’t know if mistakes are more common. There are also some times your provider may still recommend an in-person visit.
– The visit may feel different not being in the same room together. – Technical issues/interruptions
– There is a very small chance that someone could use technology to hear or see your telehealth visit. We use a secure platform to try to prevent this.
Recommendations:
– Have your visit in a private place, so other people cannot hear you.
– Use an internet network that is private and secure.
