The ongoing worldwide public health emergency has sent unprecedented numbers of healthcare providers online. While new technology can provide us with powerful tools to continue to connect and communicate in this changing environment, many of us continue to encounter questions, challenges, and dilemmas when providing clinical services via telehealth.
This 3 hour law & ethics seminar is designed to present an orientation to legal and ethical considerations of telehealth practice. In this seminar we will discuss current Washington State and Federal telehealth laws, liability and informed consent relating to telehealth, and the range of applicable ethical codes. Participants will understand how to implement technologies in their clinical practice strategically. This workshop is intended to meet law and ethics content requirements and to fulfill the Washington State Telemedicine Training requirements.

• Identify current Washington State and federal laws regarding telehealth;
