Here are a few pointers on how you can make the most of your Onboarding Consult

• Give accurate past medical history and current medical needs, to help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate medication or the right course of action.

• Ask a family member to be present with you during the consultation if you feel they can help with answering the doctor’s questions, conveying your history more effectively or if you are not comfortable talking to the doctor alone.

• Keep all your prescriptions from the last 3 months handy in case the doctor would like to see them.

Apart from the personalized care plan, the doctor will also brief you about the Do’s and Don’ts of Home Quarantine, Warning signs and when to seek immediate emergency care, daily monitoring of vitals, maintaining standard precautions, using appropriate protective gear, prevention of infections through hand hygiene and environment disinfection and any other guidelines that might be applicable to you.

It is essential that you purchase Thermometer and Pulse Oximeter devices for home monitoring and any other additional devices your doctor would recommend.
