Quick Check: Telehealth Care
Using our Quick Check tool can help you minimize potential liability risks associated with telehealth care.
The checklist addresses the following areas: meeting legal, regulatory, and licensing requirements; providing security and privacy for patients and information; maintaining the standard of care; establishing the practitioner-patient relationship; providing patient evaluation, treatment, and informed consent; documenting patient records; implementing written policies, procedures, and guidelines; and preparing patients for a telehealth encounter.
The tool also provides a resource list and contact details for additional guidance.
The guidelines suggested here are not rules, do not constitute legal advice, and do not ensure a successful outcome. The ultimate decision regarding the appropriateness of any treatment must be made by each healthcare provider considering the circumstances of the individual situation and in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the care is rendered.
