Trust Risk Management Services, Inc.

As an Allied Healthcare Professional (AHP), it is important to listen, educate yourself, and gain an understanding that will allow effective interactions with people of all cultures and backgrounds.  All AHPs, at some point in their careers, will encounter patients of differing backgrounds, and it is critical to ensure that all patients are treated equally...

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all of us. Play Therapists may not have provided professional services over telehealth until the pandemic. Now, some of you may be transitioning to reopen your practice/clinic, you may be considering continuing telehealth, or perhaps a combination of in-person and telehealth services.

The Trust Board recognizes and acknowledges members of our Board, staff, community and policy holders who have been impacted in personal ways by the recent spate of horrific murders of Black people, including Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery and many others named and unnamed. These acts of racial violence, anti-Blackness, and institutional racism have a long history and are deeply embedded in our society and disproportionately impact communities of color.

Dr. Jana Martin, CEO of The Trust, joins Dr. Graham Taylor to address ethics and considerations around the medium of video conferencing and how that can affect your patients and practice. They look further into the recent explosion in telehealth and how it can allow practitioners to extend their services and provide patients greater access to treatment.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all of us. This includes Audiologists and their offices. There are significant differences in how each practice may be operating depending on the location. Most states have implemented emergency orders, such as stay-at-home orders, whereas some have not. Some states have implemented orders allowing only businesses deemed essential to be open, and the definition of “essential” may vary widely depending on the state. There is a state-by-state compilation of emergency orders which can be accessed online and may be of use as you navigate through these rapidly evolving regulations.
