Welcome to https://www.amc.md
By making an appointment and accepting registration on the list of patients who have presented for a medical service at an AMC Clinic location, or accepted online consultation, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of accessing medical services at the AMC Clinic.
The terms and conditions may be changed by the site administrator, hereinafter referred to as "Administrator", without prior notification to the persons using the site, hereinafter referred to as "Users". Once the modified terms and conditions are published on the Site, they automatically become applicable. We therefore suggest that you periodically review the most recent version of the terms and conditions at any time on this page.
It is your responsibility to check the page regularly to note any changes. If you use the site after the changes have been made, it means that you agree to them.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS - ONLINE CONSULTATIONS www.amc.md
- Online consultations are a service in the telemedicine category, which allow doctor-patient interaction in an online environment through electronic means of communication. The online consultation service is available as an alternative to consultations in the presence of the patient in the doctor's surgery, is not intended to replace specialist medical consultation and is limited in terms of diagnostic possibilities.
- Medical information provided by doctors is given only on the basis of the symptoms you describe. It is the patient's responsibility to provide as accurate or complete a description as possible of the symptoms, general health, medication used or treatments indicated by other doctors and not fully treated, medical history and any possible external factors with which the patient has come into contact (e.g. people with communicable diseases, travel, substances of any nature, etc.).Given the technological and legislative limitations at this time, accessing this service is your declaration that you understand the limitations of the online consultation service as explained in this document.
- Given the level of privacy and security required to access this type of service safely, online consultations are only accessible via the Google Meet platform, both desktop and mobile versions. In order to access the service, it is necessary either to install the free Google Meet communication app, available for Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS operating systems, beforehand. Additionally, access to a functioning video camera and microphone is required, as well as an internet connection that allows interaction with the doctor.
- AMC assumes no liability if the online consultation cannot take place or is interrupted due to the patient's equipment or internet connection, in which case the consultation will take place at another time. Consultations will be provided by AMC doctors, primarily from the medical offices located in the clinics where they operate and in special cases at home, with the assurance of doctor-patient confidentiality. The patient is in turn responsible for ensuring confidentiality in the area from which he/she accesses the consultation.
- The communication network, equipment, including audio-visual equipment, through which the AMC offers online consultations are secured and the doctor's access to the consultation session is through strong unique credentials.
- The application used is Google Meet. For more details please see the Google Meet terms and conditions for use of the app at https://support.google.com/meet/hl=en#topic=7306097 and the section on privacy and security in Google Meet: https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9852160?hl=en&ref_topic=10632347&sjid=15914211385251286364-EU.
- Access to the application by patients will be in Visitor format, without the need to create an individual account. The data will be processed through Google Meet and will transit Google servers located in the European Union.
- The consultation session will not be recorded, and no images or voiceprints will be stored by AMC as a result of the online consultation session. It is forbidden to record it by the patient. Otherwise, the doctor will stop the recording at the moment he/she notifies it, reminding the patient of the prohibition. In the event of a re-registration, the patient will be denied access without the possibility of a new appointment and the usual rules for the use of AMC services will apply.
- Medical information that the doctor obtains or determines during the consultation will be noted in the patient's medical report, just as in a clinical consultation in the office.
- Given the technological and legislative limitations at this time, accessing this service is your declaration that you understand the limitations of the online consultation service as explained in this document, as follows:
- Online consultations, without the physical presence of the patient in the office, are provided only to certain medical specialties and have certain characteristics;
- Online consultations can only be offered for conditions of at most medium severity, involving a good general condition of the patient, with symptoms of recent onset of up to a few days.
- Online consultations may also be offered after previous visits to interpret test results and possibly assess how the condition is recovering.
- Online consultations will not be able to involve a full clinical examination (no vital sign measurements, no clinical data from palpation or auscultation of the patient).
- Depending on the findings of the doctor, online consultations may end either with simple recommendations with instructions to follow, or with recommendations for a specialist clinical consultation or investigations, and in some cases a reassessment in the virtual clinic may be necessary.
- The doctor will not be able to issue prescriptions (e.g. prescriptions requiring special prescription forms - "green prescriptions" - cannot be issued, no compensated prescriptions for acute conditions can be issued).
- The medical report of the online consultation, including the recommendations made at the end, will be included in the patient's medical record.
- The patient is asked to take into account the recommendations made by the doctor and not to exceed them. The attending physician and the AMC disclaim all liability if the patient does not follow these recommendations. In cases where the recommendations made in the online consultation do not improve the symptoms presented, the patient has a duty to seek a new opinion. If symptoms worsen or adverse reactions to the recommended medication occur, the patient should call the emergency service 112/go to the First Aid Department. - For the use of the online consultation service, all the rules for accessing the AMC services mentioned in the first chapters of this document apply, with the necessary modifications. The online consultation service is available as an alternative to consultations in the presence of the patient in the doctor's surgery. Access to this service represents the patient's consent to the processing of his/her image and voice under the conditions set out above, as well as acceptance of all terms and conditions included in this section.
