How to use Telemedicine?

Zoom & Charm Telemedicine Services

Zoom is the preferred telemedicine (telepsychiatry) platform at Brain and Behavior, PLLC. Zoom functions as a secure and HIPAA compliant tool in an individual's care. By using a smart device or personal computer (with speaker, microphone, and camera capabilities), one can receive audio-visual telemedicine appointments at Brain and Behavior, PLLC. Our electronic health record system, Charm TeleHealth services, directly integrates the Zoom video platform into your appointment allowing a seamless telemedicine experience .

Due to privacy concerns and/or restrictions related to use of work spaces and work technology, individuals are encouraged to find a private space and use their personal computer, smart phone, or tablet where a strong private internet connection (e.g. wired or wireless) is available for telemedicine encounters.

Email Notification

For every TeleHealth appointment booked, individuals receive an automated email with instructions for joining the TeleHealth session.

Individuals with Charm Portal accounts can join from their registered account. Individuals without a Charm Portal account can use the direct Join URL sent as part of the email.

Zoom Plug-in and Mobile Apps

During the first video session, individuals will be asked to install a Zoom desktop plug-in, while connecting from a computer. If individuals join the video session from mobile phones or tablets, they have to install the Zoom iOS or Android App.

Individuals have to just install the zoom desktop plug-in or mobile apps. DO NOT SIGNUP WITH ZOOM.
