Pulmonary Divisions Telehealth Guidelines

 Huge thank you to Dr. Zolty for blazing the trail for telehealth for the division. He is available to take your questions and is working on training additional providers at each site to be good at this.



 
 

Words from Dr. Zolty

If It cannot find you yet it will tell you

TWO :

We have simplified the instructions.

A: it is attached “Go Live Checklist for Providers and Staff_v4_20200324”

Please print out, it will make it much easier to follow .  

: You will have to do the webinar… it will help make sense of it all.

Detailed Epic/Webex screenshots, billing guidance, is located on The Village Telehealth Page.  I will send out a simplified version for starters.

C:

When can I start with a patient ( officially )

 When I have

  • Attended the webinar (or at least viewed the playbook resources)

  • I am able to successfully login to my unique webex room

  • I have practiced with a fake patient ( we have someone who will help with that:  try at first with a friend or family member ( sending them a link ) and then with one our support staff: eg Cristina.Barrera , ( send email to her to request) or me ( Paul)
