PRAXES also provides COVID Testing and other clinic services in person.

 

PRAXES enables you to report your health history and engage healthcare professionals (the "Professionals", or in the singular, the “Professional”) to obtain medical and healthcare advice services.  We refer to the facilitation of access to these services as the "Services". The Services are made available via a variety of platforms, including telephone, email, websites, and mobile phone applications (“App”).

THE SERVICES ARE NOT TO BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH LIFE OR LIMB THREATENING MEDICAL EMERGENCIES, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS NO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) IN YOUR CURRENT LOCATION.

 

IN CASE OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY IN A LOCATION WHERE THERE IS ACCESS TO EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS), CONTACT EMS IMMEDIATELY OR VISIT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.

2        Healthcare Professionals

 

During your use of the Services, you may discuss your medical history, your symptoms, and any treatment that may be required. The Healthcare Professional may use the communication and interactive features of the Services (including but not limited to voice, email, secure messaging, video) to examine and assess your condition and communicate their findings, and may prescribe medication to you or refer you to another healthcare provider for examination, treatment or follow-up care.

 

Each Professional who delivers medical and healthcare advice services is an independent professional who is solely responsible for the medical and healthcare advice services he or she provides to you. 

 

PRAXES does not practice medicine, provide medical advice or prescriptions, nor does not interfere with the practice of medicine by the Professionals, each of whom is responsible for the medical and healthcare advice services he or she provides to you, and for compliance with the requirements applicable to his or her profession and license.  

 

The Professional or Professionals with whom you speak will be licensed to practice in at least one province or territory in Canada, but not necessarily where you are located when you receive the Services.  The medical and healthcare advice services which we facilitate are deemed to be delivered in the Canadian jurisdiction in which the Professional(s) is licensed to provide medical services.   

 

NEITHER PRAXES NOR ANY THIRD PARTIES WHO PROMOTE THE SERVICES OR PROVIDE YOU WITH ACCESS TO THE SERVICES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY ADVICE OR SERVICES YOU OBTAIN FROM A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.

 

3        Consent

 

By accessing the Services you are consenting to medical treatment by the Healthcare Professionals.  If you are accessing the Service on behalf of someone else, you must obtain their consent to access the Services.   No consent is required if you are obtaining medical advice on behalf of another person who is unable to provide consent due to a medical emergency. 

 

A person under the age of consent in the jurisdiction in which he or she is resident, or a person who lacks the necessary capacity to give valid consent to his or her medical treatment (each a “Dependent”) is NOT permitted to use the Services. In order for a Dependent to use the Services, the Dependent’s parent or lawful guardian must register for an Account on behalf of the Dependent or access the Services on behalf of the Dependent. If you register for an Account on behalf of a Dependent, you are responsible for ensuring that both you and the Dependent comply with these Terms of Use.

 

Each Professional reserves the right to assess whether a person has the capacity to provide consent to his or her medical treatment on a case-by-case basis. If the Professional determines that a person is a Dependent, the Dependent’s parent or lawful guardian must complete the steps described immediately above prior to the Dependent receiving healthcare services.

 

Each Dependent must be supervised by his or her parent or lawful guardian at all times when using the services, including during the entire duration of a medical consultation.

 

COVID-19 online booking is facilitated through the electronic booking service called SimplyBook.me , operated by SimplyBook.me Ltd. By booking through our online service, you are also consenting to SimplyBook.me Ltd's Terms and Conditions, accessible online here: https://simplybook.me/en/terms-and-conditions/#tab-for-clients

 

4        COVID-19 Testing Services

 

Effective June 1, 2020 PRAXES began offering COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab collection for testing at the Nova Scotia Health Authority's Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Department, using the polymerase chain reaction or PCR testing procedures. COVID-19 PCR testing is required by some employers and governments for travel and/or work purposes. Tests are processed by the NS Microbiology Laboratory, normally within 48-72 hours of receipt of the sample, but depending on current volumes, may only be processed in greater than 72 hours. PRAXES has no control over the timing of result release, and posts the current expected wait times on our website here: https://praxes.ca/covid-status/ 

 

While precautionary handling measures are taken with each COVID-19 PCR swab sample, PRAXES cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage after specimens have been provided to the NSH Microbiology lab for processing. In the event of a damaged or lost specimen, every effort will be made by PRAXES to re-swab the patient.

 

There are risks associated with any invasive medical procedure. The risks of nasopharyngeal swabs are mild nose bleed (5 – 8% of cases), nasal discomfort, headache, earache, and rhinorrhea (nose pain), which typically lasted hours to a day. Receipt of a negative test result does NOT guarantee that you do not have COVID. PRAXES accepts no liability for false positive or negative test results or for the timing of receipt of test results, or any delays or costs caused by these, including but not limited to missed flights, work stoppages or delays, loss of business profits, or other losses. By booking an appointment for a COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab test, you are agreeing to these Terms of Use and acknowledge that you understand and accept these risks. 

 

5        Limitations of Services via Telemedicine

 

Telemedicine is convenient and promotes access to healthcare, however the advice you receive from the Professionals is not intended to replace a primary care physician relationship.  While you may expect the benefits from the use of the Services, no results can be guaranteed or assured. Among the possible benefits of using our Services are convenience and improved access to healthcare professionals; however, as with any health service, there are certain limitations and potential risks associated with the use of telemedicine.

 

These risks may include but are not be limited to the following:

• Delays in evaluation or treatment may occur due to failures of the electronic equipment or other third party technologies such as cellular or satellite telephones and networks, internet services, software services.

• Not all health conditions can be diagnosed through telemedicine;

• The information provided to the Professional may be insufficient to allow appropriate health care decision making by the Professional. For example, a lack of access to all of your health records may result in adverse drug interactions or allergic reactions or other similar errors in judgment. 
• Although PRAXES protects your personal information and personal health information through integrated physical, technological and administrative safeguards, there is no guarantee against data breaches, which may result in the unauthorized collection, use and/or disclosure of your personal health information.

If you are part of a crew in a remote facility or marine environment, there may be an individual designated as a “Location Admin”, who is responsible for managing all personnel information at a particular site.   For clients with multiple sites, there may also be a “Client Admin” designated to manage site and personnel information for multiple worksites.  Location and Client Admins may be able to view and edit your personal health information (“PHI”). Any information you provide to the Client or Location Admin, such as conditions, allergies, medications, immunizations, or personal information will be accessible and maintained for the purposes of accessing and using the PRAXES Services. Clients are advised to include only the most relevant health information to enable the Healthcare Professionals to provide effective and efficient medical services.
