Dr. Tom Herchakowski | Establishing Secure Telehealth Infrastructure

 

Maintaining patient privacy and data security is paramount in telehealth implementation. Chiropractors must invest in secure telehealth platforms compliant with healthcare regulations, such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the United States. Implementing encrypted communication channels, secure document sharing features, and stringent access controls mitigate the risk of data breaches and safeguard sensitive patient information. Tom Herchakowski New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners

 

Furthermore, educating both staff and patients on data security best practices, such as using strong passwords and avoiding public Wi-Fi networks during telehealth sessions, reinforces the confidentiality of remote consultations. Regular audits and updates of telehealth systems ensure ongoing compliance with evolving privacy standards and enhance trust in the practice's commitment to patient confidentiality.
