What is Tele-Medicine?

With the emergence of the virus causing the disease COVID-19, there is an urgency to expand the use of technology to help people who need routine care, and keep vulnerable beneficiaries and beneficiaries with mild symptoms in their homes while maintaining access to the care they need. Limiting community spread of the virus, as well as limiting the exposure to other patients and staff members will slow viral spread.

Is Tele-Medicine Safe?

Yes. Our practice is proud to offer Tele-Medicine Consultations through a safe infrastructure that meets privacy standards. We utilize Jane Online Appointments, a service using a standard that provides peer-to-peer audiovisual communication in most cases. This means that all the traffic flows directly between each user’s web browser and completely bypasses servers. The traffic is also encrypted in transit and none of the data is stored anywhere at any time. Both clients and Healthcare providers must be signed into their secure Jane account to access the Online Appointment. Learn How to use Jane Online Appointments CLICK HERE
