Telehealth Privacy: Safeguarding Confidentiality in SUD Treatment

Providers should really focus on themselves as well: avoiding public Wi-Fi, password-protecting devices, keeping files secure both from your family and also on your computer, if at all possible.
Privacy is paramount when it comes to telehealth, especially for those providing substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. In this episode, experts from the Center for Excellence on Protected Health Information, including Jacqueline Seitz, JD, Christine Khaikin, JD, and Michael Graziano, dive into the top seven privacy considerations that every SUD treatment provider and peer support specialist should know. They break down complex topics like HIPAA compliance, confidentiality protocols, and the use of widely available apps for service delivery.
You'll also hear about the importance of obtaining consent and e-signatures, prohibiting redisclosure notices, and adhering to state laws. The episode goes beyond just the basics, offering practical advice on how to protect both providers and patients while working remotely. Whether you're new to telehealth or looking to refine your practices, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you maintain the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality in your virtual sessions.
