Telehealth Virtual Visits
Barrett Hospital & HealthCare offers virtual visits for primary care and behavioral health appointments. Save travel time, skip the waiting room and meet with providers for secure appointments in the comfort of your home—or wherever it’s most convenient. Simply use a smart phone, tablet or computer with a camera, microphone and strong internet services to meet face-to-face with providers you know and trust.
A virtual visit is scheduled when both patient and provider agree the appointment will meet the patient's needs and is right for his or her symptoms or situation. Virtual visits are often used for:
-
Follow-up appointments after an illness
-
Medication review visits
-
Mental health appointments with a licensed counselor so they can establish care, determine next steps, and in some cases, perform counseling sessions
-
Management of chronic conditions or illnesses
-
People with cold or respiratory symptoms to determine if additional care is needed
Convenient care without compromising quality—what virtual visits are and what you need ​
Virtual visits are real-time video meetings with your provider
Using Zoom, a secure video platform, you will see and speak to a provider in real time—just as you do when you're in the same room.
