Episode 92: Optimize & Fortify Your Private Practice Using HIPAA [featuring Liath Dalton]
Many mental health practitioners struggle to fully grasp the ins and outs of HIPAA requirements, so they just copy and paste forms from other clinicians, use software that can be easily breached, and think that "as long as the client doesn't mind using Venmo, Gmail, etc., it's fine, right?"
But that's not how HIPAA works or why it exists. And though many therapists find it to be annoying, when implemented properly, it can be a tool to build trust with clients, as well as optimize and fortify your business and systems.
If you are not already running a HIPAA-compliant private practice or maybe just want to know more about how to seamlessly and painlessly implement it into your business, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with Liath Dalton, director of Person Centered Tech, about how to "do HIPAA" the right way.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
It's important to make your private practice HIPAA compliant to protect yourself and your clients, as well as ensure that you have a business that operates smoothly and is trustworthy.
