Huh “submarine” rhymes with “guillotine” I just noticed

As a web designer (well, customizer/reseller for small businesses) I definitely thought I was done for when I heard AI could spit out a functional website in one prompt. Then I saw some examples and realized it’s just going to be another thing clients bring me, begging for a fix. No problemo, small upcharge.

Well if I can’t trust Meta with my information, who CAN I trust

Law now says clients have to be given access to their notes, you can probably access them through a web portal or by asking. That said I do not encourage people to do so regularly because it creates the wrong kind of feedback loop where you’re trying to influence the notes instead of following your therapist’s (hopefully) guidance.

But HIPAA rules apply to notes, for instance the therapists I support have 365 HIPAA or better (self hosting has its own problems and most therapists aren’t scaled for it).

I am the IT support for my SO’s therapy business and we’ve already reviewed and rejected these tools, and I’m expanding out to start to advise other therapists as well. So, it’s not happening everywhere nor is it unnoticed.
