Ethics and Telemental Health

Course overview

Attention Florida Professionals: This course may be used to meet the ethics requirement, but NOT the telehealth requirement. If you are looking to meet the telehealth requirement please take Telemental Health Practice. Prior to the pandemic, telemedicine was gaining traction but usually only in select instances and geographic areas. The use of telehealth necessitated by the pandemic has transformed into a more permanent way of providing care in many settings. The healthcare industry is widely experiencing a digital transformation and behavioral health practitioners are adjusting quickly to the demands of providing services via virtual platforms. However, this type of service provision carries unique ethical challenges. Through the use of potential scenarios, literature review and discussion, this learning material will address the specific ethical challenges, requirements, and demands of telehealth services.
