TELEHEALTH TIPS FOR OUR PATIENTS
TELEHEALTH TIPS FOR OUR PATIENTS
1. Find a private space: Your health care provider may need to ask you personal questions. Please find a private and quiet space.
2. Allow plenty of time: Due to medical emergencies it is virtually impossible for doctors to run exactly to the minute. Make yourself comfortable and expect to wait.
3. Write a list: Write a list of what you want to cover and keep a pen close by.
4. Check your understanding: Repeat back important instructions to your healthcare provider to ensure you understand advice or instructions.
5. Telehealth is new for everyone: Telehealth is new to your healthcare providers. Please provide the surgery with feedback so we can improve patient centred care.
