What About Privacy & Safety during a Nature Visit?

Outdoor visits may take several forms. It may involve sitting outdoors on a bench/chair/picnic table outside at a local state park, park, or public place. It may also take the form of walking while addressing therapeutic goals and topics. If you decide to walk, some of the activities you might participate in include walking on sidewalks/bike paths and/or exploring public parks and open spaces. The focus of the experience is health consultation, not exercise.

There are possible risks of outdoor visits, including, but not limited to:

• Accidental injuries from tripping or falling while walking, or potentially being struck by a bicyclist or a car.

• Physical dangers including: insect stings, animal bites, falling branches or sticks, sunburn, exposure to heat/cold, and similar risks.

• Adverse weather conditions including heat, rain, and storms. Please note that when rain or storms are in forecast, it may be necessary to reschedule the visit. The doctor will reach out to you if this is the case.

• Confidentiality issues: complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Though every attempt will be made to not engage in private conversations when others are in close proximity, it is not possible to guarantee that conversations will not be heard by others.

• Coming into contact with someone the doctor or patient knows. If the doctor comes into contact with a known person, the doctor will not disclose that you are a patient or any other confidential information. If you come into contact with a known person, the doctor will not initiate interaction with that person but will follow your lead in guiding any interactions.

• Given the prevalence of cellphones, it is also possible that you may be photographed or videoed with your doctor without your knowledge and that you and your doctor would have no control over the dissemination of those photos/videos.

• Perceived informality of the interaction. Although outdoor visits might feel more like a social interaction rather than a therapeutic interaction, it is a therapeutic activity. Despite the relative informality of the interaction, the relationship between patient and doctor continues to be entirely professional, and not a social relationship.
