This was posted to my practice newsletter this morning: Dear friends and colleagues, Things have been quiet here for awhile, but recently my ethical compass got spun around by the update to the privacy policy of the EHR platform I was using (if you haven’t heard yet, it rhymes with Dimple Cactus). I was particularly […]

Well, it’s been a minute since something got me riled up enough to post to my old dusty mailchimp account. But I had some #clinical and #ethical concerns about #psychotherapy #ehr shifts away from #privacy and towards ownership of data: http://eepurl.com/iAeUzg
