Telehealth Instructions

Patient Telehealth Checklist
Telehealth is a way to receive care while you remain at home. It can help keep you and your family safe. The goal of Mother's Milk NJ is to ensure that you receive the same high-quality care that you would get by coming in for a visit. By taking a few minutes to prepare, you can set yourself up for a successful visit.
Here is a quick checklist to make sure are prepared for your telehealth visit.
Getting Started
□  Use the best camera you can find
Telehealth visits work best when I can see you clearly. Many devices and computers now come with high quality built-in cameras. If your device has an external camera, you can test out the picture by doing a video call with a friend or family member.
I may ask you to hold your camera close to your body to do an exam. The clearer the picture and the closer you can get to your device will allow me to make an accurate evaluation and address your concerns.
□  Place your camera at eye level
• Sit eye-level with your camera so you can make eye contact with me. This helps us see each other more clearly and have a deeper connection during your visit.
□ Test the sound
Most devices have a built-in microphone and speaker system. You can test yours here
□  Plug in your device for power and Internet
We know your time is valuable and getting to the bottom of your health concern is important. You don’t want to lose your connection during your visit, so ensuring that you have your device fully charged or plugged in will prevent you from having issues during your appointment.
You can do your telehealth visit using Wi-Fi, but your computer will work better if it’s plugged directly into the internet with a wired ethernet cable. If you’re on a smartphone try connecting to your home’s Wi-Fi for the best connection.
□  Close other apps
• Having too many apps running on your computer or device can make your device run slowly. Before starting the visit, close all programs that you aren’t using during the visit.
□ Use Chrome as your browser
□ Find a quiet space
• Find a quiet space where you will not be interrupted. It is important that you feel comfortable and have privacy to discuss your health concerns, so you are less likely to be distracted during the visit.
□ Adjust the lighting.
• Before you begin your visit, check the lighting. Is the picture fuzzy and dark? Try turning on overhead lights or closing blinds and drapes to reduce background light.
□ Prepare your list of questions and concerns
Take a minute or two before starting the visit to write down any questions you may have.
Having a support person with you during your visit can help you remember what you talk about with me and any advice I give. Choose a person that you trust with your health care information. Talk to your support person before the visit starts so that they know what you expect and when they should talk.
​During the Visit
□ Connect to the Visit
□ How to act
Act like you would if you were at an in-person visit in your doctor’s office.
Tell me all your concerns and symptoms, ask questions, and listen closely.
Make sure you’re looking into the camera and staying close to your device so I can see and hear you.
I may ask to see your breasts to do an exam. It is important to wear easily accessible clothing.
