Why More Patients Are Switching to Telehealth
The healthcare landscape has evolved rapidly—and patients today seek flexible, accessible, and personalized options for managing their health. Transitioning to telehealth primary care offers the opportunity to achieve all three without sacrificing quality or continuity.
At AQualiT Health®, we make it simple to transfer your care to telehealth, offering step-by-step support so you can begin experiencing convenient, comprehensive healthcare from the comfort of your home.
How the Telehealth Transition Process Works
1. Initial Consultation and Onboarding
The first step to switching to telehealth is scheduling a virtual consultation with your new provider. During this visit, you’ll:
Discuss your medical history
Review current conditions and medications
Identify any upcoming health needs (labs, screenings, specialist referrals)
You’ll also be introduced to our telehealth platform, patient portal, and virtual communication tools to ensure you feel comfortable and connected from the start.
Why this matters:
Clear communication and thorough onboarding set the foundation for long-term, proactive healthcare management.
2. Transferring Medical Records
Our team assists you with obtaining your previous medical records from former providers. Once authorization is given, we electronically request your health history, recent lab results, imaging studies, and medication lists.
Why this matters:
Having your complete medical background allows your telehealth provider to deliver continuous, informed care without starting over from scratch.
3. Establishing a Personalized Care Plan
After your initial assessment and record review, we create a customized care plan that includes:
Preventive care goals
Chronic disease management strategies
Medication updates
Mental health support if needed
Why this matters:
Your virtual care plan is designed to evolve with you, ensuring that all aspects of your health are addressed seamlessly.

Why this matters:
Continuity of care is critical for managing chronic diseases, mental health needs, and maintaining preventive care schedules.
Preparing for Your Transition to Telehealth Care
To ensure a smooth transition:
Make a list of your current medications, allergies, and active health conditions.
Request copies of recent lab work, imaging results, or specialist reports if available.

Prepare questions or goals to discuss with your new telehealth provider.
At AQualiT Health®, we guide you every step of the way, ensuring that switching to telehealth feels empowering, easy, and rewarding.
