Unlocking the Mysteries of Telehealth: Back to the Basics of Building a HIPAA Compliant Foundation | Thursday, September 10th | 3pm ET
As Agencies on the front lines of human service, Covid-19 took us all by storm. When face to face was no longer an option, relaxed guidelines allowed therapists to see clients through a crisis-mode version of virtual therapy. As rules and regulations are re-implemented, we need to go back to the basics of providing a sound, professional and HIPAA compliant foundation for this service. Due to very fortunate timing, JFS Omaha had already gone through the process of implementing telehealth pre-Covid-19. In this workshop, we will go over what has worked for our agency and share with you our step-by-step process.
