AdventistHealthSonora.org • Healthy Living  5 Before your visit, gather your questions, health records, pill bottles and anything else you may want to refer to. If you’ll be using your smartphone, download the Microsoft Teams app. About 20 minutes before your visit, open Microsoft Teams. You can either: •   Click the “Join Microsoft Teams Meeting” link the office sent you. •   Open the smartphone app, visit your calendar and join your meeting. If prompted, click the button to “Open Microsoft Teams.” If you don’t see that window, click the button to “Join on the Web” instead. Click the “Join Now” button. You might see pop-ups asking you if Teams can access your microphone and camera. Click “Yes/Allow.” That’s it! How do you schedule a virtual visit with a doctor? “Just call and request a visit from your provider’s office,” Emerald says. You’ll need an internet connection and a device with a working camera and microphone. If you don’t have one, let your doctor’s office know. Adventist Health Sonora is using Microsoft Teams for virtual visits. Your doctor’s office will send you an appointment email that contains a link. Shortly before your appointment, the office will call you. A nurse will take your information just like at a regular visit. Then you’ll click on the emailed link, which will bring you to a virtual room. Your doctor will join you there, and you’ll be able to see and hear each other. Your email will have a number to call if you have technical problems. And if the virtual visit doesn’t work for any reason, your doctor will call you to continue by phone instead. There’s no need to put off your health care any longer. Give a virtual visit a try. Your virtual visit, step by step Looking for a convenient option for care?
