WEBINAR: Complete Patient Data – A Key Element to New York’s Response to COVID-19

In today’s digital age, our connectivity gives us a strong advantage in fighting infectious disease.

Collaborating and sharing data to provide real-time guidance and enable research is the key to better understand and control COVID-19.

WEBINAR: COVID-19 and Beyond: Telepsychiatry Best Practices and Regulatory Priorities

May 07, 2020

Now is the time for telebehavioral health. The COVID-19 global healthcare crisis has meant a remarkable evolution for the already rapidly changing telehealth industry.

In recent weeks, every state, county and community across the United States has experienced a greater prevalence of mental health conditions. As the need for mental health rises, the push for virtualizing interactions is exploding, resulting in a major boom in telebehavioral health.

With unprecedented swiftness, the telebehavioral health industry is experiencing regulatory changes on multiple fronts, including reimbursement, HIPAA compliance standards, prescribing and licensure. Many care settings and clinicians are quickly virtualizing their operations and are working to navigate a whole host of new processes and a new regulatory environment.
