What Not to Do: Telehealth Lessons Learned (Managing the Unexpected)

This video, created in partnership with Candello, explores the ways virtual visits can go sideways, strategies to handle those situations (including rescheduling the visit, converting the visit to in-person, and problem-solving during the visit), how to create a backup plan to handle technology issues, what to look for in patient behaviors and environment to evaluate the patient’s safety, and managing patient expectations with virtual care.


The guidelines suggested here are not rules, do not constitute legal advice, and do not ensure a successful outcome. The ultimate decision regarding the appropriateness of any treatment must be made by each healthcare provider considering the circumstances of the individual situation and in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the care is rendered.
