CONSENT FOR TELEHEALTH CONSULTATION
This consent is being executed in
conjunction with the use of the Platform, the Terms of Service and Terms of
Use. I understand that my mental health care provider wishes me to engage in a
telehealth consultation on the Platform. In that
regard, I understand:
1.
I understand that my health care provider
will conduct the consultation using Kana, a HIPAA-compliant digital health
platform designed to support mental health providers in telehealth settings. I
acknowledge that this session will differ from an in-person visit, as we will
not be in the same physical location.
2.
I recognize that telehealth consultations conducted via
Kana may offer several benefits, including improved access to care and greater
convenience. Kana provides telehealth-enabling technology—such as AI-powered
clinical support tools and patient engagement features—but does not itself
provide medical or clinical services.
3.
I understand there are
potential risks to this technology, including interruptions, unauthorized
access, and technical difficulties. I understand that my health care provider
or I can discontinue the telehealth
consult/visit if it is felt that the videoconferencing connections are not
adequate for the situation.
4.
I have had a direct
conversation with my provider, during which I had the opportunity to ask
questions in regard to this procedure. My questions have been answered and the
risks, benefits and any practical alternatives have been discussed with me in a language
in which I understand.
5.
The Platform is NOT an
Emergency Service and in the event of an emergency, I will use a phone to call
911 and the Platform does not provide any medical or healthcare services or
advice including, but not limited to, emergency or urgent medical services.
6.
The Platform
facilitates videoconferencing and is not responsible for the delivery of any
healthcare, medical advice or care.
7.
I do not assume that
my provider has access to any or all of the technical information on the
Platform consultation or that such
information is current, accurate or up-to-date. I will not rely on my health
care provider to have any of this information in the telehealth consultation
through the Platform.
8.
To maintain
confidentiality, I will not share my telehealth appointment link with anyone
unauthorized to attend the appointment.
By signing this form,
I certify: (i) that I have read or had this form read and/or had this form explained
to me; (ii) that I fully understand its contents including the risks and benefits of
the procedure(s); and (iii) that I have been given ample opportunity to ask questions and that any
questions have been answered to my
satisfaction.
I AM AGREEING THAT I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREE TO THE ITEMS CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
