Will teletherapy be secure
Yes, at B & V Thera-Pro Associates, Corp., we uphold HIPAA compliance and security to the highest regard. Teletherapy will involve the confidential and secure communication of your child’s clinical and medical information, both orally and visually.
The laws that protect the confidentiality of your child’s medical information also apply to teletherapy. As such, the information disclosed throughout the course of therapy or consultation is confidential.
We have a secure system for confidentiality and privacy. We use Zoom.us platform for all meetings (therapy sessions). We have secured a Business Associates Agreement with Zoom.us and full HIPAA compliance with encryption.
Enhanced Security Measures
Below are a few details related to the enhanced security measures Zoom.us platform will offer for security and privacy:
- Secure a meeting with encryption
- Create Waiting Rooms for attendees
- Require host to be present before meeting starts
- Expel a participant or all participants
- Lock a meeting
- Screen share watermarks
- Audio signatures
- Enable/disable a participant or all participants to record
- Temporary pause screen-sharing when a new window is opened
- Password protect a meeting
- Only allow individuals with a given e-mail domain to join
Zoom’s solution and security architecture provides encryption and meeting access controls so data in transit cannot be intercepted.
Zoom does not have access to identifiable health information and we protect and encrypt all audio, video, and screen sharing data.
The meeting ID via Zoom.us and your acceptance to join the meeting will confirm the therapy session. Telehealth services performed by our telehealth practitioners will be documented in our regular HIPAA compliant electronic healthcare software, Raintree Health Systems, Inc. for treatment and billing purposes.
