TIPS FOR USING TELEMEDICINE

Here are tips for having a great telemedicine appointment:

If you are going to use a video session, choose a quiet location in your home with good light. This is so the provider can clearly see the patient. Avoid any bright lights or windows behind the patient.
Write out the patient's complaint ahead of time so you can refer to it during the session.
Make sure your device, whether a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, is fully charged.
If using a computer, try to close any unnecessary programs/apps before connecting with the telemedicine system.

Following the above recommendations will help you have an optimal telemedicine appointment.
