In New Hampshire, it’s now possible to “go to the doctor” without ever leaving your home.

A new telemedicine law passed NH now allows for consultations between doctors and patients to take place over the phone or web-video call.

Here are three ways to fully take advantage of this new law:

D E V E L O P C A R E - P R O C E S S E S & P R O T O C O L S

• Setting up standardized processes and protocols for these calls will allow for consistent care across the board

• That initial code of conduct will help professionals avoid liabilities and malpractice further down the line

C R E AT E A P R O V I D E R -PAT I E N T R E L AT I O N S H I P

• This new law will let real relationships develop between doctors and their patients

• The convenience of phone & video calls creates a space for interactions outside of the (semi) annual checkups.

• New Hampshire’s licensing laws can be a bit convoluted

• If you are an out-of-state professional working in NH through telemedicine, be sure that all necessary licenses are obtained.
