Tips for a Successful Visit
1. Choose a device with a strong internet connection.
- You can have your visit using a smartphone or tablet device. You also can use a laptop or desktop computer.
- It’s important you have a strong wireless (Wi-Fi) or cellular connection to support video and audio.
- Make sure your device is charged or plugged into a power source, and that you have installed any updates on your device.
2. Choose a space to have your visit.
- Choose a quiet, private location for the virtual visit.
- If the patient is under 18 years old, a parent, guardian or caregiver must attend the appointment.
- Before starting the virtual visit, turn on overhead lights and block out window light.
- Keep headphones or a headset nearby in case there is unexpected feedback from your device's microphone or speaker.
