Informed Consent for Services Performed by Dr. Vineet Nakra

Teleconferencing opinions involve the use of electronic communications to enable oncology experts at different locations to share individual patient health information for the purpose of improving patient care. Providers may include multiple forms of specialists, and/or subspecialists. The information may be used for providing relevant information to you, and may include any of the following:

Customer health records
Medical images
Online counseling and support groups
Output data from medical devices and any files

Electronic systems used will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and imaging data and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure its integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.

Responsibility for the patient care should remain with the patient’s local clinician, if you have one, as does the patient’s medical record.

Expected Benefits:

Improved and rapid access to a team of oncology experts by enabling a person to remain in his/her local healthcare site (i.e. home) while the expert provides information to patients.
Clear evaluation of therapeutic options.
Confidence in understanding options and implications of those options.

Possible Risks:

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with the use of online second opinion. These risks include, but may not be limited to:

In rare cases, the team may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a face-to-face meeting with the customer, or at least a rescheduled video session;
Delays in services could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the logistics;
In very rare instances, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal health information;
In rare cases, a lack of access to complete records may result in judgment errors;
