Responsible Use of Service

Healthcare Providers using the system to provide healthcare services to existing and new patients of Dr-Online are responsible for the treatment, communication, data updates and all interactions through the system between you and your patients.

Text Consultations:When providing answers to patient questions through Text Consultations in this system, it is the responsibility of every healthcare provider to:

• Adhere to the response times, specified while configuring your service.
• Insist on the right information from the patient
• Exercise care while answering questions and ensure that patients not directly consulting with you in person, verify any information with their own doctor
• Provide the best possible response and cautionary notes while answering
• Ensure that patients dealing with medical issues of an urgent nature immediately contact their nearest doctor/hospital.
• Ensure that you are qualified and competent to be handling the Text Consultations

Video Consultations:It is important to meet appointments scheduled for Video Consultations on time. Reminders for the same will be sent to both the patient and healthcare provider and it is important that both sides prepare to be ready in advance of the appointed time. Failure to hold a consultation at the appointed time requires that the patient should be a granted an alternate appointment free of cost and/or that the cost of the Video Consultation be refunded to the patient.

The healthcare provider reserves the right to decide the video consultation duration and also when the consultation ends for any specific consultation instance. This could be earlier or later than the maximum possible duration. If the healthcare provider has to conclude the video consultation mid-way due to a medical emergency, then a new session at an alternative timing will have to be scheduled by the healthcare provider, free of cost to the patient.

The quality of the video session depends on the quality of the Internet connection, web cam and audio facilities of both the patient and healthcare provider. It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to ensure that the performance and quality of the equipment and connection used, are optimal for doing video calls online. Video Consultations that fail on account of poor equipment and connectivity on the side of the healthcare provider will have to be rescheduled.

It is required that the healthcare provider prepares ahead of time to participate in the Video Consultation, in a quiet and private place, where only the healthcare provider is present in the room where the video session is being held. There must be no audio/video recording of the video session by the healthcare provider, other than video archiving that may be built into the system.

Video Consultations must not be scheduled for patients with critical medical conditions and/or for emergencies. Such consultations are suitable only for basic follow-ups between the patient and doctor and/or preliminary consultation before meeting the healthcare provider in person.

Remote Patient Monitoring:The healthcare provider is responsible for configuring the scope, instructions, description, tracking requirements and applicable pricing if any for remote monitoring plans. The healthcare provider may create general monitoring plans that patients can subscribe or alternatively create custom monitoring plans personalized for individual patients. The healthcare provider is responsible for determining the best approach for each patient or group of patients. The healthcare provider is responsible to review patient updates covered by a remote monitoring plan as per the review frequency defined for the plan. The quality of review and nature of feedback provided to the patient is entirely the responsibility of the healthcare provider. It is also the responsibility of the healthcare provider, to remind and motivate patients to adhere to monitoring requirements.
