Telepractice guidance
 

I appreciate the Board specifying/defining telepractice, particularly in section #3, stated that telepractice is considered a method of service delivery and that it falls under the regulations that apply to all methods of service delivery.

Something to consider, would the Board have resources available if practitioners are in need of support to ensure that the technology being used meets HIPAA/FERPA/etc? People may not know where to go or what to specifically look or what to specifically ask when talking to vendors, especially if they are brand new to this service delivery method. 

Again, thank you
