PEER NAVIGATOR ADVISORY SERVICES

Neither Readytoknow.ca or any of the I’m Ready Properties are a licensed healthcare service provider and do not provide access to licensed physicians or regulated health care professionals, such as nurses or others who are registered to provide healthcare in a Province or Territory of Canada.

We offer an online communication platform through the I’m Ready Properties to connect you with telehealth-style services via the Site and Platform through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technologies. The Site facilitates communication between you and the project’s Peer Navigators. Peer Navigators may provide general information and advice related to HIV/AIDS knowledge, services, symptoms and conditions and how they are treated in Canada (“Informational Services”).

If you want to contact a physician and do not have a family physician, please consult the website of the medical regulator (in most Provinces, that is the “College of Physicians and Surgeons” of the Province), in the Province or Territory of Canada in which you reside.

Peer navigators

To the extent permitted by the law in the Province or Territory in which you reside, our Non-Physician Service Providers, called “Peer Navigators,” may be located in your Province or Territory or another Province or Territory of Canada.

The choice to connect to and use the services of a Peer Navigator is yours and yours alone. You will be provided with available Peer Navigators based solely on the information you submit to the Site. You are ultimately responsible for choosing your particular Peer Navigator and for the information and communications you provide them.

Services

Telehealth-like services refers to the delivery of general health care informational services using interactive text, audio and video technology, where the patient and the Peer Navigator are not in the same physical location. During your communications with a Peer Navigator, you may be asked about or can volunteer certain Personal Information including Personal Health Information (collectively referred to together as “Confidential Information”). When discussing information about Healthcare Services, information typically refers to Personal Health Information (“PHI”), and when discussing Informational Services, Information typically refers to information that is not specifically about you or your health, such as information in questions you would be comfortable asking of an expert during the call-in portion of a radio broadcast on health-related matters. Your Confidential Information may not be required for general Informational services, and we advise you to not submit Confidential Information in the course of accessing Informational Services if you are uncomfortable doing so.

Your interactions with the Peer Navigators and telehealth-like services via the I’m Ready Properties and the Platform are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular health care practitioners or primary care physician. You acknowledge that your reliance on any information or advice delivered by the Peer Navigators via the Site or Service is solely at your own risk and you assume full responsibility for all risks associated herewith.

The content of the I’m Ready Properties, the Site, Platform and the Services, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice or diagnosis of any kind by us. You should always seek the advice of your qualified health care professionals with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. All information provided by us and our Peer Navigators, or in connection with any communications supported by us, is intended to be for general information purposes only, and is in no way intended to create a provider-patient relationship as defined by provincial or federal law. While we facilitate your selection of, and communications with Service Providers, we do not provide licensed medical services, and do not create a doctor-patient relationship.

Peer navigator services, limitations

Peer Navigator Services will only be made available to you if you are a temporary or permanent resident of a Canadian Province or Territory, whether or not physically in the Province or Territory at the time that you request the Services (“Residency Requirements”). The relationship between you and a Peer Navigator is not a physician-patient relationship. You agree that the Platform is made available solely for your personal and non-commercial use.

There are restrictions on the information about healthcare services that can be provided through the Site and Platform Services. Our services are not for medical/health emergencies. YOU MUST NOT USE THIS SITE AND/OR PLATFORM FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY OR ATTEND YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.

In addition to the limitations set out above, Peer Navigators are not permitted to recommend or prescribe any kind of medication including narcotics, controlled substances or other types of controlled medications, non-therapeutic drugs and other drugs which may be harmful because of their potential for abuse.

Our advisory and information services are not a replacement for Primary Care. Please note that interaction with a Peer Navigator is not intended to take the place of appointments with your regular primary care provider. If you do not have an established relationship with a primary care provider, you are encouraged to develop one. You should seek emergency help or follow-up care when needed. We do not provide your family physician with a report about the Services that you receive through our Site, Platform or other Services. So that your family physician can take into consideration our Services, including any advice you receive, it is recommended that you tell your physician about the Services you receive here, including the reasons that caused you to request them.

Risks of telehealth-style services

By using the Services, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with telehealth-style services. These include but are not limited to the following: information communicated may not be sufficient to allow for appropriate advice from the Peer Navigator; delays in assignment to a Peer Navigator or communications between you and same could occur due to failures of electronic equipment; although the electronic systems we use incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the privacy and security of health information, those protocols could fail causing a breach of privacy of your health information.
