- Convenience
- No travel time
- Continued care and growth
CONS
- Limits some aspects of care
- Increased distractions
- Technological challenges
- blurred picture
- delayed audio
- platform crashing
- connection issues
Tips for
Successful Telehealth
The quick basics:
- Find a quiet place with limited interruptions
- Test your video and audio- make sure we can see your face!
- Use headphones with a built-in microphone
- Close all other tabs and apps
- Keep your device still
- Position the camera so your image fills the screen
- Keep your chargers close
- Use ethernet cable instead of wifi
- If using wifi, sit close to your router for good signal
Be prepared for hiccups: technology isn’t perfect. If your connection drops, rejoin using the same link, and we’ll work with you to get the session back on track.
