TELEMEDICINE PATIENT CONSENT
  1. I understand that I have chosen to engage in a recorded video/audio consultation with the purpose of assessing and treating my medical condition and/or obtaining general medical advice.
  2. I confirm I understand how video consultation technology will be used and this consultation will not be the same as a direct patient/healthcare provider visit since I will not be in the same room as my healthcare provider.
  3. Since my doctors do not have the opportunity to meet with me face-to-face, they must rely on information provided by me or my onsite healthcare providers. Al Sharq Hospital doctors cannot be responsible for advice, recommendations and/or decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information provided by me or others.
  4. I understand there are potential risks to this technology, including interruptions, unauthorized access and technical difficulties. I understand that my telemedicine provider (Al Sharq Hospital) or I can discontinue the video consultation if it is felt that the connection is not adequate for the situation and switch to telephonic consultation.
  5. I understand that this service is solely provided by Al Sharq Hospital. My insurer and/or TPA are not directly involved in providing medical consultations and hold no liability for any claim, from any party, arising directly or indirectly from the services provided by Al Sharq Hospital.
  6. I understand that I can ask that the telemedicine exam and/or video conference be stopped at any time and for any reason.
  7. I understand that I may benefit from telehealth, but that results cannot be guaranteed or assured. Additionally, I understand that telemedicine-based services and care may not be as complete as in-person services. I also understand that if the telemedicine physician believes I would be better served by another form of consultation (e.g., in-person services) I will be asked to visit a clinic, hospital, GP, or specialist who can provide such services.
  8. I understand and am aware of the alternative treatment options available to me, and I am choosing to participate in a video consultation. I understand that some parts of the exam involving physical tests may be conducted by individuals at my location at the direction of the consulting healthcare provider.
  9. I understand that the service is not intended for emergency consultations and I am aware that I need to contact local emergency services in case of any doubt. In an emergent consultation, I understand that it is my responsibility to advise my local practitioner and that the telehealth provider’s responsibility will conclude upon the termination of the video conference connection.
