Prepare for Your Telehealth Video Visit
-
Schedule an appointment
Call your doctor’s office and select a time that works for you. Dress comfortably, find a quiet place to talk and be prepared when the call comes. Have a pen and paper ready to jot down useful advice. -
Prepare your technology before the appointment
Many patients just use their smart phones with FaceTime ability. Others use a computer, laptop, or tablet. If you need assistance, ask a friend or family member to help you set up your technology and/or to download/install any programs or apps. -
Think about what you want to discuss
Plan for your appointment by writing down what’s most important for you to discuss. Write a list of any symptoms you are having and what questions you want answered. -
Keep a written list of all the medicines you are taking
Some people even place their medications in front of them to show the doctor during the visit. Don’t forget vitamins and supplements.
