I hereby consent to participate in telemental health services with Chrysalis as part of my psychosocial rehabilitation services. I understand that telehealth is the practice of delivering health care services via technology assisted media or other electronic means when two people are located in different locations.
I understand the following with respect to telehealth communication:
1. I understand that there are risks associated with telehealth, such as confidentiality breaches if someone should walk into the room or technical difficulties that may result in service interruptions. If we are unable to reconnect with video, we may resume our session with regular voice communication.
2. I agree that my medical records on telehealth can be kept for further evaluation, analysis and documentation, and in all of these, my information will be kept private.
3. I understand that although my provider makes every effort to protect my privacy by using a secure server, they cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted over the internet. By using telehealth services, I recognize that transmissions over the internet are at my own risk and that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access the transmissions.
4. I understand that there will be no recording of any of the online sessions. Information disclosed within sessions and written records pertaining to those sessions are confidential and may not be disclosed to anyone without written authorization, except where the disclosure is permitted and/or required by law.
5. I understand that I have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting my right to future care or treatment.
I have read the information and understand the risks and benefits related to the use of telehealth services. I hereby give my consent to participate in the use of telehealth services.
