I understand that I am required to utilize the video conferencing application that Connect Plus Therapy has provided for me while receiving telehealth services. This is to ensure that the necessary confidentiality, and security parameters are met under Federal, State, Local, and HIPAA compliance.
I also understand that I am responsible for ensuring that we have the technical capabilities to receive this service including the proper equipment and a clinical environment. I am able to set up the video conferencing system, maintain the appropriate computer/device settings, establish a private space, and cooperate for effective safety management.
Both locations utilized during telehealth sessions are considered a patient examination room, regardless of the rooms intended use. Privacy must be ensured that clinical discussions cannot be overheard outside of either room.
All parties involved with telehealth services are expected to maintain the same level of professional and ethical discipline and clinical practice standards as in person services.
