What browsers are supported?
Providers, patients, and guests can join telehealth on either browser supported by Valant IO for telehealth delivery (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge). When possible, make sure you are using the most updated version of an internet browser. Using older versions can cause some issues with Telehealth. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari are not supported browsers for Telehealth. Patients will receive a message telling them so if they try to join a session in a non-supported browser.
Screen sharing and drawing on the virtual whiteboard are not supported in the mobile MYIO app. Content shared by other users can be viewed through MYIO. Other telehealth features should function in the mobile user MYIO app.
How will I notify my patients about video conferencing/telehealth?
- If the practice has Valant’s Patient Portal, they may use the Secure Messaging functionality to communicate with each patient.
- The practice may utilize Patient Communications tools to send Telehealth Appointment Reminders or Broadcast Messages.
- Practices can get a list of patient emails by running a Facesheet report from the CSV drop-down in System Reports. This report exports all patient demographic information including email into a comma-separated-value (CSV) spreadsheet that can be opened in Microsoft Excel.
How many participants can join a telehealth session?
Sessions support up to 30 total participants including one provider, one or more patients, and one or more guests invited to join the meeting using a Guest Access link.
