Description 

Ethics in Practice: Technology, Records, and Risk is a practical ethics training designed to help behavioral health professionals navigate today’s most common ethical and legal challenges. Participants will examine ethical considerations related to technology use and online reviews, including appropriate professional responses that protect confidentiality. The training reviews Texas and federal laws governing records requests, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance, with attention to timelines, documentation, fees, and subpoenas. While Texas statutes are used as primary examples, participants practicing outside of Texas will be encouraged to identify, compare, and apply the corresponding laws and regulations within their own jurisdictions. Using ethical decision-making models, participants will apply standards to real-world scenarios involving advertising and solicitation of reviews, supervisory billing and representation, continuing education dilemmas, and emerging practice risks in modern behavioral health settings.

Learning Objectives

1. Analyze ethical and legal considerations related to technology use and online reviews.
2. Explain Texas and federal laws governing records requests, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance, and identify key considerations for applying these principles across jurisdictions.
3. Identify emerging ethical and legal risks related to supervisory billing, continuing education, and contemporary practice trends.

Live/Virtual Training Information

• If you register for the Virtual Classroom training, make sure you have a good WIFI connection.
• Your computer will need a camera for you to be visible throughout the entire training to receive the certificate.
• We will be using Zoom for the training; therefore, you will need to download the Zoom program to be able to use the link.
• You will receive three emails from us before the training. The first email will be sent out the week before the training and will include the zoom link, time of the training, details regarding your lunch order, and our address. The second email will be sent the beginning of the week in which the training is being held and will include all the information included in the first email plus the materials for the course. The third email will be sent the morning of the training and will include the Zoom link, the posttest (if needed) and the evaluation for the course.
• There will be two 15-minute breaks (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and a 30-minute lunch break.
• Your certificate will be emailed after the training, within 5-7 business days upon receiving your evaluation and posttest (if needed).
• While it is rare, there are occasions when we must cancel a training due to low registration. If this occurs, we will notify registered participants by Tuesday evening of the week of the scheduled training. We appreciate your understanding and will provide alternative options at that time.
• Our Live/Virtual trainings are offered in a hybrid format—held live at a physical location and streamed via Zoom at the same time. In-person attendees join the presenter on-site, while virtual participants watch the live training in real time and can fully participate through Zoom.
