Virtual Appointment Attendance Procedures

VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT (OTN) TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

A Virtual appointment in our program is done over OTN (Ontario Telemedicine Network).  Please take a moment to ensure that you can attend our video appointments.

Want to test your device before the appointment to make sure you will have no difficulties?

  • We have created a virtual dummy room for the purpose of testing your device.
  • No appointments are held in this virtual dummy room.
  • You can simply click on this virtual dummy room link to see if you can access the virtual dummy room with your device.
  • If you can access the virtual dummy room, you will have no issues accessing your video appointment with the device you tested on the day of your appointment.
  • If you do have issues, you have two options:

 

1. You can check to see if you can access this virtual dummy room with your regular phone line. To do this:

  • Phone (888) 346-6784
  • Enter the following information when prompted:
    • Event ID: 542845127
    • Audio Guest PIN: 963159

 

2. Follow the instructions in the section “Still having difficulties” below.

You can access OTN services over your mobile device with video capabilities.  If you do run into difficulties accessing the virtual dummy room, you may want to follow the instructions at the link below: https://otn.ca/video-visit-help/Content/More/more-intro.htm.

Choose either iPhone/iPad or Android depending on which device you have.

If you have any issues connecting, please phone OTN at 1-855-654-0888 and provide them with the link above. This is a free service and they will help you troubleshoot any potential issues. Please note that once you ensure that a device works for OTN calls, try to use the same device every time you attend a video visit with our program. For any new device you would like to use, you will have to follow the same procedure.

To learn more about the technical requirements to participate in OTN calls using your operating system/device, go to https://otn.ca/video-visit-help/Content/More/testing.htm.

BOOKING A VIRTUAL GROUP COUNSELLING SESSION

To book the OHIP-funded Group Counselling like “Orientation” Group Counselling session:

  • simply go to the “Book an Appointment” page
  • scroll down to the section “Group Counselling”
  • select the “Orientation (video)” button.
  • Upon enrolling, you will get a confirmation email from Medeo.

***Please note: Appointments for the group sessions in the booking system are in 5 min increments, i.e.,…

  • If Orientation starts at 10:00 am and lasts until 11:30am, then…
  • When booking with the online booking system, it will assign you a 5-min slot between 10:00am – 12:00 pm, e.g.,  10:05 am – 10:10 am.
  • Being assigned to this slot allows you to attend the session, but you have to remember to sign on at 10:00 am no matter what time you book.

ATTENDING A VIRTUAL APPOINTMENT

  1. At the start time of the session, you simply go to the “Attend a Virtual Appointment” page
  2. Scroll down to the section of interest, i.e.,  “Group Counselling” or “Occupational therapy”, etc.
  3. Select the button in that section, i.e.,  “Group Counselling” or “Occupational Therapy with Gabriella”, etc.
  4. You will have to enter your name and then join the room. The host will admit you when they are ready for you.
  5. If you prefer, you can turn off your video so that only your voice is shared over the call.
  6. Please mute your microphone. Background noises can be very disruptive to the presenter and the participants. You can unmute your mic when you would like to speak.
  7. You also do not have to look at the screen. In effect, you can treat this like a phone call, but held over OTN.
  1. Visit our website using your phone to attend your virtual appointment at https://torontoconcussion.ca/virtual-rooms/ as you normally would through a desktop.
  2. The instructions from here are the same as for accessing the session on a web browser: https://torontoconcussion.ca/virtual-appointment-attendance-procedures/.

Look below for the provider you would like to visit to learn the procedures to attend the visit over the phone.
