Safe & Conducive Environment
Telehealth has the potential to provide increased visibility of a patient’s home or alternative environments but also limited awareness of others who may be present. Mechanisms that support patient privacy and confidentiality need to be well-integrated into telehealth visits. Additionally, the use of modern technology may be in opposition to cultural or religious norms. Mechanisms should be in place to adapt and ensure cultural humility and patient and provider-centeredness.
Considerations:
- Patient Privacy
- Confidentiality
- Supporting Equity and Inclusion
