Email & Telepsyche Policy

ELECTRONIC MAIL (EMAIL) and TELEPSYCH POLICY

a.    By agreeing to communicate via email or internet, you are assuming a certain degree     of risk of breach of privacy. Tangled Minds cannot insure the confidentiality of our electronic communications against purposeful or accidental network interception.

​

b.    Due to this inherent vulnerability, we would caution you against emailing anything of a very private nature.  Additionally, your provider will save email correspondence with you and these communications should be considered part of the medical record; therefore, you should consider that our electronic communications may not be confidential and will be included in your medical chart. 

​

c.     To protect your privacy, be prudent in how you store treatment-related emails. Make sure they are protected from unauthorized access by using and guarding your passwords. Consider deleting any emails that you do not want others to see, followed by emptying your trash or recycle bins. Be aware that emails sent from a workplace computer are the property of the employer. Never send emails of an urgent or emergent nature. Your provider will check email regularly; however, re-email or call our office if you have not received a reply within 2 business days.Use paragraph blocks to write a description, set of instructions, or provide supplemental information for your patients to help complete the form.
