About telehealth
What is Telehealth? It’s the use of digital technologies to deliver medical care, health education, and public health services by connecting multiple users in separate locations. Telehealth encompasses a broad definition of technology-enabled health care services. Telehealth includes telemedicine (diagnosis and treatment of illness or injury – see detailed description below), and services such as assessment, monitoring, communications, prevention, and education.
Your rights
You may withhold or withdraw consent to telehealth at any time without affecting your right to future care. You can withhold or withdraw by calling 602-770-7611 or emailing info@andersonsnutrition.com or during a session.
Confidentiality
Our practice uses a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. We use reasonable and appropriate efforts to protect your Personal Health Information (PHI). We do use third-party software to conduct visits that is encrypted. To protect your own privacy, it is important that you are using secure internet and ideally use headphones (with a microphone) to limit the exposure of PHI. Examples of insecure internet would be using public internet at a coffee shop or using your internet at the workplace. The use of platforms such as Skype, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger is not secure and increases your risk for PHI disclosure. You may request to use the non-HIPAA compliant platforms with the understanding that they are not secure.
Technology
By using technology such as video and/or cell phones, there may be interruptions and/or technical difficulties. Our software does not require you to download any additional software. You will receive a link and password to connect with your practitioner. Once connected, you will have the ability to hear, see your practitioner, and view their screen for education purposes. Alternatively, a non-video option is a phone call. Screen sharing is not an option for a phone visit. If you experience any issues you can call 602-770-7611.
How telehealth works
You will receive a link with a code in your email or text. There is NO software to download. Just click on the link from any browser and enter in the code. You will need to click the audio and video box to turn them on. If you experience any issues you can call 602-770-7611.
Tips for a success session:
1. Be a quiet room and with no other distractions.
2. If an option, be in a room alone to safeguard any personal health information. The use of headphones with a microphone may be helpful.
3. Bring a pen and paper to take notes.
4. Sessions can be done on your cell phone, however, a big screen may be more helpful if your dietitian is going to screen share.
5. Click on the link a few minutes early to make sure you are on time for your session.
We’re excited to meet you!
