Telemedicine/Telehealth: Consent to participate in a telemedicine appointment

The inability to have direct, physical contact with the patient is a primary difference between telehealth and direct in-person service delivery

• The use of telehealth for this service is voluntary

I understand there are potential risks to this technology, including interruptions, unauthorized access and technical difficulties.

I understand that video conferencing technology will be used for the consultation and will not be the same as a direct patient/health care provider visit due to the fact that I will not be in the same room as my health care provider.

I understand that the responsibility of the telemedicine consulting specialist is to give medical advice and that the specialist’s responsibility will conclude upon the termination of the Doxy.me video conference connection.

I had the opportunity to ask questions in regard to this procedure including risks, benefits and any practical alternatives have been discussed with me in a language in which I understand.

By joining the video conference link, I certify:

• That I have read or had this form read and/or had this form explained to me * That I fully understand its contents including the risks and benefits of the procedure(s).
