Telehealth/Video-Conference Questions

1
What is a telehealth/video-conference?
 
  • Telehealth/video-conference technology allows us to provide live child health and mental health education in real time and over large distances. Parents/caregivers and other community members are thereby able to access expertise and resources as close to home as possible.
  • Live sessions are hosted out of the Alberta Children's Hospital and sent to sites throughout the province and beyond, where attendees can view them on monitors and ask questions of the presenter in real time.
  • Telehealth/video-conference is not available through your personal computer or laptop. You must access a telehealth/video-conference site that has the facilities needed to participate in our sessions. Please see #3 below on how to find a site and access the session by telehealth/video-conference.
  • Handouts are made available to telehealth/video-conference attendees 48 hours in advance of the session.
  • Attendees are requested to complete an evaluation form at the end of the session in order to provide feedback to CES on their experience of the session and to inform future presentations. These evaluations can be faxed to us at 403-955-2444.
2
How do I know if a session listed in the newsletter is available via telehealth/video-conference?           
 
  • Click on the "Current Sessions" button on any of the CES web pages.
  • Find the session of interest and look to the right of the session title. If the session is available via telehealth/video-conference, you will see a little blue camera icon What Is Telehealth?. This means that the session is available via telehealth/video-conference.
  • Alternatively, click on the drop-down menu and select the option "Telehealth/Video-Conference".
3
How can I attend an upcoming session using telehealth/video-conference?
 
  • Please call 403-955-7420 or email us at ces@albertahealthservices.ca and request your site be added to the locations for the session you want to attend. We will advise you of what to do next.
  • If you are unsure as to where telehealth/video-conference facilities are available in your area, call 403-955-7420 or email us at ces@albertahealthservices.ca and we will locate the closest telehealth/video-conference site to you and provide you with instructions on what to do next.
  • We will notify you when your requested or closest site has been confirmed and provide you with details of the location and the process needed to access the session.
  • Once you have received confirmation of the telehealth/video-conference link, you can then register for the session by following the procedure outlined under "General Questions", # 4, above.
  • The handouts for the session will be made available to you on our web site at http://fcrc.albertahealthservices.ca 48 hours in advance of the presentation and until 48 hours afterward.
  • Please Note: We require 7 days notice to add sites to a session. This is to allow enough time to process the request and ensure we have the proper resources available.
