Not Safe
While I appreciate telemedicine for those that are unable to attend in person appointments, after what I have learned and experienced with technology, I can no longer in good conscience offer telehealth. Telemedicine cannot and will not ever be able to offer a 100% HIPAA secure platform, as all technology and platforms are hackable.
It was Obama and the government that pushed for electronic medical records. This push, in my opinion gave the government and bad actors access to all the information they could ever want on a person. By engaging in telemedicine both the client and provider are at risk for being exploited and intruded upon. For the safety of the client and myself, and in order to create a safe therapeutic space conducive to privacy and security, I do not engage in or offer telemedicine.
It is my personal and professional opinion that Obama and COVID allowed the government unbelievable access to humans mental and physical health information. Cyber warfare is the enemy of small businesses and its owners. Cyber warfare is the legal, cost effective, simple way to terminate and sabotage any business, while opening up a back door for liability by making the business owner appear incompetent in their cyber-security protocols, knowing full well, regardless of cyber-security or not, ALL IS HACKABLE! Technology has been weaponized by the corrupt in government!
