Telehealth

Telehealth provides a convenient and effective way to connect with your healthcare provider through video or phone consultations, using computers, tablets, or smartphones. This service allows you to virtually engage with your doctor, counselor, or case manager from the comfort of your home, eliminating the need for in-person visits. According to the National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers, telehealth offers a flexible alternative to traditional healthcare visits.

At Appleseed, the goal of our telehealth services is to ensure that you receive the same high-quality care as you would during an in-person appointment.

Setting up a video visit

If you’re using video to talk with a provider, there are a few things you can do ahead of time to help the visit run smoothly.

  • Choose a spot with plenty of light. If you’re using the camera on your phone, try turning on the flash if necessary.
  • Make sure the camera is steady. This will be easier if you’re using a computer or laptop. To keep a phone steady, prop it up on a desk or table.
  • Get comfortable. You’ll have an easier time focusing on the visit if your body is comfortable. This is another reason to prop up your phone — your arm will get pretty tired if you’re trying to hold the phone out in front of you during your visit.
  • Reduce background noise. This can be tricky when there are a lot of people in the house. But if you can, find a quiet activity for the kids — or your roommates — in a separate room.
  • Close other applications. Some applications will slow down your internet connection. And even if they don’t, closing them will cut down on distractions.
