Case Scenario: Serrina is the HIM Manager for a large suburban physician practice and the Chief of Staff of the medical practice, Dr. Mohje, has asked that she assess the privacy rules as they apply to telehealth. Dr. Mohje is concerned that physicians are performing in telehealth visits without considering the privacy of the patients. He then wants Serrina to make a policy and procedure that addresses all the privacy aspects of telehealth. The Physician Practice IT Manager has provided the physicians with a security platform for performing telehealth visits and she has provided a detailed policy and procedure for using the technology. Dr. Mohje wants a similar procedure that addresses privacy issues for telehealth visits.

1. Make a policy and procedure for ensuring patient privacy during telehealth visits.

2. Research recent literature that addresses the privacy of health information as it relates to telehealth/telemedicine visits.

3. Provide at least two APA references at the end of the policy and procedure.
