How Do You Do Telehealth?

The quick answer to how do you do Telehealth is by using a communication device like a laptop or mobile device. The patient and medical provider communicate with each other via phone or video conference.

Below are the steps that you will take to complete a Telehealth visit at JOI:

 

• You will schedule a visit with your doctor or therapist.
• JOI uses the Zoom software to conduct Telehealth appointments.
  • If you are on a desktop you do not need to have the app downloaded – the meeting will start in your web browser. However, you can download the app if you’d like.
  • If you are on a mobile device you will need to download the Zoom app on your device.
• The office will send you an email with all the information you will need including the zoom link and meeting id.
• When it is time for your appointment click on the meeting link from the email you were sent from the office.
• You may need to create an account if you do not have one already.
• Once in the meeting be sure to connect your audio and video.
• Once the appointment is complete you may be able to schedule your next appointment before ending the meeting.
• This is an excellent option for the review of a special test like an MRI.
