A practical checklist for evaluating an online care experience before sharing sensitive information.
Explore resources →Privacy, Testing & Follow-Up
Before you share your history
Who provides care? Is the clinician licensed where you are located? Which questions are relevant to the assessment? Where can you read the service’s privacy information?
Before you take a test
Who orders the test? Is home collection suitable, or do you need a local laboratory? What happens if a sample is unusable? How will you receive and discuss the result?
Before a treatment decision
Ask about alternatives, relevant interactions and any additional examination or monitoring. A clinician may recommend another approach or decide that a prescription is not appropriate.
Before you rely on a message
Know which channel is for clinical questions, when a response can be expected, and where to go for urgent help. Check whether email or text notifications could reveal sensitive details.
Before the next refill
Understand the review schedule, required tests and what happens if an appointment is missed. Good continuity includes a next step when care needs to move to another provider.
