INFORMATION FOR THE USE OF TELEMEDICINE
By subscribing to this policy I have been informed of the following:
Telemedicine uses medical equipment, information technology and electronic communication technologies that allow to provide reporting services through the help of clinical facilities located in other locations. The doctor who reports the data isn’t physically in the same room with me. The doctor or the nursing and technical staff will be able to attend the examination for every phase necessary for success.
Telemedicum guarantees that the specialist you will use is a doctor registered to one of the Italian orders and practical in the subject matter of the medical service I requested. I am, in any case informed that the responsibility for the examination will depend on the specialist doctor.
The collected clinical, biological, audio and video data necessary for the purpose of the objective to be achieved, can become part of the documents and material of the doctor who makes the video consultation. They must be used only for the purpose of documentation or health care by all those involved in the passage of information in order to perform the requested service and for any other organizational and administrative aspects but only within the limits required by reason of the purpose of collection and processing.
I have been informed and therefore aware that telemedicine services and services are assimilated to any other diagnostic/therapeutic/care/rehabilitation services or services, and as such must always respect all the rights and obligations of any health act even if, the telemedicine services do not completely replace the traditional care services, but complement them to improve their effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness and sustainability.
I have been informed that there are alternative methods to carry out the examination and, in particular, that I can apply to National Health Service facilities, companies affiliated with the health service and/ or companies and private laboratories that provide the service with traditional methods but I chose the video consultation as a form to consult a doctor and therefore I declare right now to be available to receive the service in telemedicine since my 'technological profile', that is my knowledge and ability of use of the computer tools, they allow it.
I declare to this end:
– I know how to use or be able to learn to use digital communication tools (e.g. smartphones, tablets, computers with webcams);
– to be autonomous in the use of such tools (physical and cognitive disability could limit their possibility);
- if you need help, have a family member or caregiver who isqualified to use such tools and technology;
– to have the tools and an Internet connection suitable for the use of the telemedicine system.
Through Telemedicum I can access my medical information on Doctorium.
I can review all medical information documented during a telemedicine meeting and I can obtain a copy of this information in accordance with current regulations.
I am aware that, if deemed necessary by the specialist, cognitive and intervention tools may be used for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of medical and/or psychological pathologies. I am also aware that the health professional may, if he or she deems it necessary, advise him or her to seek advice from other health professionals bound by professional secrecy.
The user can orally express their disagreement. In this case, the trader does not assume responsibility for the choice and/or processing in question.
