Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we discuss whether Google’s mail merge feature is appropriate for therapists to send mass communications. 

We discuss our advice on using the BCC field (don’t do it!); how Google’s mail merge function works; what’s covered under Google’s BAA; calculating risk; the impacts of a HIPAA breach; and behavioral measures vs. technical measures for reducing risk of error.
