Telemedicine

Telemedicine Do’s

Ensure your child is present for the appointment.
Be prepared and organized before your provider joins the visit.
Choose a well-lit, quiet space for the appointment to facilitate clear communication.
Confirm you understand the diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and when you should expect your child to start feeling better.

Telemedicine Don’ts

Avoid medical jargon.** Describe symptoms plainly: instead of “lethargic,” say “hard to wake up,” or instead of “dehydrated,” mention the last time your child urinated.
Don’t expect a prescription automatically.** Antibiotics may not be appropriate, especially for respiratory infections.
If your child’s fever returns after medication wears off, say that, rather than stating you can’t “control” the fever.
Stay away from dark or noisy environments,** as they make it hard for the provider to see and hear.

Limits of Telemedicine

While telemedicine offers excellent alternatives during the COVID-19 pandemic and other situations, there are limitations:

It cannot replace in-person care for procedures like stitches or hands-on assessments.
However, telemedicine can help you determine whether an in-office or ER visit is necessary, potentially saving you time and unnecessary trips.

Ultimately, telemedicine is a valuable tool to maintain your child’s health while minimizing risks. Don’t hesitate to ask questions during the visit to ensure you feel confident about the next steps in your child’s care.
