Telehealth is the next generation HIPAA compliant video visit solution. Telehealth visits can be conducted on a computer or mobile device. Providers can optionally complete a pre-call test prior to joining a telehealth visit to help identify potential technical issues.
The pre-call test ensures the provider's camera, speaker, microphone, and network connection is working properly for the visit. If any issues are detected, providers can review Telehealth Visit Best Practices and Troubleshooting for best practices and troubleshooting tips. Additionally, the providers can enable low data mode which lowers the resolution of their video feed to improve call performance.
