Staying connected during COVID-19

Hushmail’s Jarred Bolen joined Dr. Neil Gajjar for a comprehensive webinar provided by the Academy of General Dentistry to help dental practices stay connected using HIPAA-compliant technology during the pandemic. In this post, we provide a recap of the webinar and a link to the replay.

We’re presenting a customer case study that explores how dentist Dr. Neil Gajjar safely continued providing emergency care at the height of the pandemic and recently reopened his elective services using web forms as part of his strategy to maintain safe contact with his patients.

Whether you have an optometry, dental, counseling, or other healthcare practice, you’re likely considering how you can safely reopen. Web forms can help you make that transition.

Hushmail isn’t just compliant with HIPAA. Our services also comply with the EU’s GDPR, Canada’s PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws, among many others. Complying with these laws helps us help you protect your clients’ data.

Do you know how HIPAA rules apply to your new virtual practice and affect how you use email to communicate with clients during the pandemic? Hushmail’s Jarred Bolen talked to Therapy Reimagined on their podcast and answered many of the questions therapists have about HIPAA as they set up their virtual offices.

Getting a functional virtual office up and running takes some time and you might be tempted to take shortcuts such as sending PDFs of your web forms instead of using our online form builder. In today’s post, we’ll compare sending a PDF versus building a new form, and explain why the latter will save you time in the long run.

Good communication is essential. These forms will help explain your preferences as a practitioner, educate your clients about different methods of communication and their risks, and get their consent on the decisions you both decide upon.

HIPAA requirements may have been relaxed during the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you should stop caring about security. With so many clients going online for their care, securing protected health information (PHI) is still important, perhaps more than ever.

As a healthcare practitioner, how you communicate in your emails is just as important as how you communicate in face-to-face sessions with your clients. What does your email style say about you? Are you inadvertently setting expectations you might not be able to meet?

Let’s take a minute to think about when to add an electronic signature field to your web form. Some forms should have an e-signature. Others can go without. Do you know which is which?
