Description

Complying with all best practices when providing telemental health services can be very overwhelming and confusing!

I created this workbook so launching your telemental health services and complying with best practices will be much easier for you. This workbook should help you become organized in the delivery of your services and help you avoid overlooking some important aspects of compliance.

This workbook can save you many MONTHS of work.  It includes worksheets for setting up your telepractice or telemental health program, templates of clinical forms, a guide for selecting a practice management program, and templates of policies and procedures for telemental health.

The workbook is provided as a download in several formats, which makes it easy for you to edit them for the purposes of your own telemental health program.
