VIRTUAL VISIT TIPS
To get the most from these visits, keep these tips in mind.
-
Once your virtual visit is scheduled, you will receive a text from our clinic. The text will include registration paperwork to review and complete before your appointment. The clinic receptionist may need to contact you to collect copayment. We will send you details about your upcoming appointment and how to log on or use our technology.
-
Like an in-person visit, writing down a few things before and during your telehealth appointment is a good idea. Consider making notes on:
Your current medications
Your symptoms, when they started, if they’ve improved or worsened, etc.
Any questions you may have
Recommendations from your provider during the visit
-
This can be tricky when there are a lot of people nearby. If you’re at work, sitting in your car during the appointment may be your best bet.
-
Some phone, tablet, or computer applications may slow your internet connection. Closing them will also cut down on distractions.
-
Try sitting near a window for extra light if needed.
-
Set your computer or laptop on a flat service, or prop up your phone or tablet on a desk or table.
-
Wear something easy to move if your provider asks you to show part of your skin.
-
Make your virtual visit a priority. Avoid eating or drinking during your appointment. Eliminate distractions as much as possible.
