A doctor-patient relationship is a legal and ethical relationship that exists between a healthcare provider and a patient. This relationship is established when a patient seeks care from a healthcare provider, and the provider agrees to provide that care. The relationship is based on trust and communication, and it carries with it certain legal and ethical obligations.

Please note that until a patient has been evaluated by a healthcare provider from United Medical Group, the doctor-patient relationship is not established. The use of the telehealth EHR platform www.yourmd.online does not create a doctor-patient relationship unless and until a patient has received medical evaluation and treatment from a healthcare provider at United Medical Group.

As part of the doctor-patient relationship, healthcare providers have certain ethical and legal responsibilities to their patients. This includes providing care that is appropriate and within the provider's area of expertise, maintaining the confidentiality of patient information, obtaining informed consent for medical procedures, and providing care that is respectful and non-discriminatory.

Patients, on the other hand, have certain responsibilities as well, including providing accurate and complete information about their medical history and current health status, following the provider's instructions and recommendations, and participating in their own care.

It's important to note that the doctor-patient relationship is a legal and ethical concept that is recognized in many jurisdictions, and failure to uphold the obligations of this relationship can result in legal and ethical consequences for healthcare providers
