Telehealth vs In-Person: Ethics and Strategies for Treating Those at Risk
Mary K. Alvord PhD and David Jobes, PhD
Friday, May 3 12:00 PM — 3:15 PM ET

Drs. Mary K. Alvord and David Jobes will present key ethical considerations for telehealth in this 3-hour workshop designed to meet PSYPACT and licensure renewal requirements. Telehealth is a modality that reduces barriers to care—particularly for rural, remote, diverse, and underserved populations. Drs. Alvord and Jobes will focus on criteria to help practitioners determine when it is in the client‘s best interest to use in-person versus telehealth sessions, or when it’s appropriate to use a hybrid model and at what point in treatment. They will also discuss how practitioners can ethically offer a range of options. Dr. Jobes will discuss commonsense suggestions for managing suicide risk and emergency situations when using telehealth as a modality. He will discuss informed consent, third parties who may be asked to assist in an emergency, and provisions for problems that may come up related to using telehealth (e.g., privacy, bad connection, wifi drops the call). Dr. Jobes will also discuss decreasing exposure to malpractice liability by doing evidence-based care and documenting the clinical work well.
