Our ability to draw effective conclusions about your present state of health and how to improve it depends, to a significant extent, on your ability to respond thoughtfully and accurately to both these written questions and those posed by the clinician during your consultations. Health issues are usually influenced by many factors. Accurately assessing all the factors and comprehensively managing them is the best way to deal with these health challenges. Your careful consideration of each of the following questions will enhance our efficiency and will provide for more effective use of your scheduled consultation time. These questions will help to identify underlying causes of illness and will help us formulate a treatment plan.

Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable health care providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care. Providers may include primary care practitioners, specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, and may include any of the following:
Patient medical records
Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.
Improved access to medical care by enabling a patient to remain in his/her home or doctors office while the physician obtains test results and consults from healthcare practitioners at distant/other sites. More efficient medical evaluation and management. Obtaining expertise of a distant specialist.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine. These risks include but may not be limited to: In rare cases, information transmitted may not be sufficient to allow for appropriate medical decision making for the physician and consultant(s). Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment.
Delays in medical evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information. The Center for Holistic Medicine uses secure HIPPA compliant encrypted audio and video transmission software to deliver telehealth. In rare cases a lack of access to complete medical records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other judgment errors In addition, telehealth, may limit the doctor's ability to fully assess certain conditions. This includes lack of detailed visualization, despite advancing camera technology and lack of ability to palpate (touch) affected areas such as sprains and strained joints. There are many other benefits to seeing patient's in person that can better help a clinician treat a patient Some conditions are best treated in a clinical environment, such as deep lacerations, mental status changes, chest pain, respiratory distress and many others. If you have any of these conditions, it is highly recommended that you seek emergency care immediately.
I have read and understand the information provided above regarding telemedicine, have discussed it with my physician or such assistants as may be designated, and all of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction. I hereby give my informed consent for the use of telemedicine in my medical care. I have been given the opportunity to ask questions regarding telemedicine and have no further questions regarding the use of telehealth at this time.
