  1. How to Make the Most Out of Your Telemedicine Consultation?

  2. Telemedicine visits have become increasingly common in recent times—they are convenient, affordable, effective, and make health care more accessible. More importantly, telehealth consults provide comprehensive care while conforming to social distancing norms and restrictions pertaining to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, assuring you peace of mind during these unprecedented times. • You can avail virtual care services at Urgent Care Pearl City or other telemedicine clinics in Honolulu for non-emergency concerns or complaints such as headache, gastrointestinal problems, diarrhea, back pain, urinary tract problems, rash, sinus problems, and more. Booking a telemedicine consult is also recommended if you suspect you have COVID-19 symptoms. If deemed necessary upon consultation, your health care professional may advise you to visit a center for an in-person examination.

  3. So, have taken the first step to book your telemedicine consultation? Below, we guide you to prepare for your upcoming session and make the most of your virtual health care visit. • Here are a few things physicians and health care providers recommend you to do in preparation for your telemedicine consultation.

  4. 1. Make a list of symptoms • It is a good idea to prepare a list of most notable symptoms prior to your telemedicine consult, lest you forget them during the call! • For instance, if you are seeking care for a skin condition, it would be helpful to have taken pictures of any affected sites that you could share with the doctor.

  5. 2. Keep previous medical records handy • What medications are you currently taking? • Have you done any blood work recently? • Come to the appointment with enough details to enable your health care practitioner to ably guide you. • If you have any home-based biomedical devices or kits (e.g., blood pressure monitor, oximeter, glucometer), consider recording your vitals.

  6. 3. Set up the technology To ensure your virtual care session is free of technical glitches, we recommend you ensure all technology is set in place. Power up your device (smart phone, tablet, or laptop) well in advance, and check your hardware (camera, microphone, speaker) and WiFi/network connectivity are sound. Taking a few minutes to test out equipment will go a long way in recreating the one-on-one appointment in a health care clinic.

  7. Customer service representatives at Urgent Care Pearl City and other telemedicine clinics in Honolulu region are well trained to guide you through the process. • Once you have booked your telemedicine consultation, these specialists will reach out to you to test the process and ensure your telemedicine session with the health care professional is smooth and free of technical glitches. 

  8. 4. Set up your environment • Set up your camera at eye level, preferably on a stable surface like a table, so your doctor can see you clearly and maintain eye contact. • Find a well-lit and quiet spot with minimum distractions, so you can follow all instructions provided.

  9. 5. Communicate proactively • Your doctor will only be able to gather as much information as you are willing to provide. • That is why, it is up to you to communicate as clearly as possible during the session. • Bring up any concerns you are experiencing so you make the most of the time you have with your doctor.

  10. 6. Ask specific questions • Toward the end of the consult, your health care practitioner will provide you with prescriptions and summary notes, as needed. At this point, be sure to ask any queries you may have regarding the prescribed dosage and next steps. • Are there any dietary restrictions to follow? Do you need a follow-up appointment? Be specific in your conversation! • The next time you are feeling under the weather, don’t hesitate to seek professional medical assistance.
