As a therapist, how you communicate with clients online is just as important as how you communicate in your sessions. However, if you use email and web forms to communicate, you need to be sure that they’re secure and HIPAA compliant.

Hushmail takes the guesswork out of secure communications by providing encrypted email, web forms, and e-signatures all in one package.

Hush Secure Forms makes building forms very easy. You can start a form from a template and customize it to reflect your practice, or use the drag-and-drop form builder to build beautiful forms from scratch with fields for legally binding e-signatures. Then, add the form to your website or send it through secure email. They also includes a selection of screening forms such as the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and DASS that deliver a score upon completion.

Move your intake, informed consent, health history and other practice forms to HIPAA-compliant Hush Secure Forms. Your clients will spend less time in the waiting room and more time getting the care they need.
