Initiate the Telehealth Session

When ready, the provider will initiate the Telehealth session by sending a text message or an e-mail to the patient through the Telehealth application. Once the patient receives the message, they will download the AnywhereCare™ application from the iPhone App Store or the Android Google Play Store if they do not already have it installed, then launch the application. The provider is then notified the patient is ready. Follow these steps to initiate a Telehealth session with a patient:
