Informed Consent to Telehealth Services

Healthy Campus may arrange for certain Wellness Services (as earlier defined) to be provided via telehealth. Telehealth involves the delivery of such services using electronic communications, information technology, or other means between a licensed, certified, or registered healthcare professional (Provider) at one location and the patient in another location about a clinical matter. Telehealth may be used for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and/or patient education. Telehealth services may involve various modalities, including asynchronous interactions, real-time video and audio encounters and interactive audio with store and forward.

Benefits of Telehealth:

  • It can be easier and more efficient for you or your child(ren) to access health and wellness services.
  • You or your child(ren) can obtain health and wellness services at times that are convenient for you or your child(ren) without the necessity of an in-office appointment, including follow-up care related to your or your child(ren)’s treatment.

Risks of Telehealth:

  • Information transmitted to your or your child(ren)’s health professional (Provider) may not be sufficient to allow for appropriate health or wellness services to meet your or your child(ren)’s particular need.
  • Some clinical needs may not be appropriate for a Telehealth visit.
  • The technology necessary to interact with the health professional (Provider) may fail and delay service.
  • Security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal medical information.

Not for Emergencies:

  • Telehealth services will not be used in a medical or psychiatric emergency.

In consenting to telehealth services, as indicated by my signature below, I understand the following:

  1. The electronic nature of the Telehealth services means that there is a greater risk to the privacy of my or my child(ren)’s health information.
  2. In some cases, my or my child(ren)’s Provider may be a nurse practitioner or physician assistant and not a physician.
  3. Persons may be present during the Telehealth visit other than my or my child(ren)’s Provider in order to operate the Telehealth technologies and/or for language translation assistance, if requested.
  4. Information pertaining to me or my child(ren) that is provided as part of any Telehealth offering will be treated as accurate, true, and complete. I understand that I or my child(ren) may have opportunities to correct any incorrect information.
  5. In certain instances, and in compliance with applicable law, my or my child(ren)’s Provider may determine that it is appropriate to provide my or my child(ren)’s medical treatment asynchronously via store-and-forward technology. In such instances, my or my child(ren)’s Provider and I or my child(ren) may communicate electronically through an electronic platform and not via telephone or video.
  6. When using an electronic platform, I or my child(ren) may not always be speaking or messaging with my or my child(ren)’s provider in real-time, and there may be a delay before my messages or information is reviewed.
  7. I or my child(ren) must check the electronic platform for messages because this is the way that my or my child(ren)’s Provider will communicate important information to my child(ren) or me.
  8. As is the case with all healthcare, Telehealth or not, there is no guarantee that I or my child(ren) will be provided medication. The decision of whether a prescription is appropriate will be made in the professional judgment of my or my child(ren)’s Provider.
  9. While the use of Telehealth may provide benefits to me or my child(ren), no such benefits or specific results can be guaranteed, and my or my child(ren)’s condition may not improve.
  10. There is a risk of technical failure during the Telehealth encounter beyond the control of the Provider using Telehealth.
  11. The laws that protect the privacy and confidentiality of medical information also apply to medical information that derives from a Telehealth encounter.
  12. I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of Telehealth in the course of my or my child(ren)’s care at any time, without affecting my or my child(ren)’s right to future care or treatment.
  13. A variety of alternative methods of medical care may be available to me or my child(ren), and I may choose one or more of these at any time. My or my child(ren)’s Provider has explained the alternatives to my satisfaction.
  14. I have a right to receive a copy of this informed consent to Telehealth.
