Telemedicine / Virtual Appointments
This is a form of video conferencing allowing physicians to provide services to patients outside of the office, for example, at the patient’s home or workplace. It also provides the opportunity for consultation with family members and other providers involved in the patient’s care. Surveyed patients participating in telemedicine say they are very satisfied with the care they are receiving and that they feel telemedicine is a reliable form of practice. In addition, they find that they are able to keep their appointments on a more regular basis.
For your appointment, you will need to have access to a private place and a computer / tablet / smartphone with a camera and high-speed internet. Clarity Cannabis will provide you with access to a secure HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software free of charge.
All you have to do is be on your device and log on at the time of your appointment.Clarity Cannabis ensures the interaction between the patient and physician is completely secure and HIPAA compliant. The teleconferencing software encrypts all forms of data, including video and audio.
Telemedicine provides the patient with benefits that may lead to better care. We understand it can be difficult to take time off from your busy schedule to come to our office. This form of treatment can eliminate your commute time and lead to less stress, especially when you are scheduled to see your physician often. For patients who are usually seen in the office but are sick or traveling, this form of treatment allows you to still keep your appointment without interrupting your care.
Yes! While telemedicine can be a convenient option for many, we understand that you may wish to visit with the doctor in person. We are available for in-person appointments at our clinic in McKinney, TX, during regular clinic hours, including evening and weekend hours.
