Do I need a separate room for telehealth?

HIPAA requires reasonable safeguards for client privacy. A private room with a closed door is strongly recommended. At minimum, use noise-canceling headphones and a narrow webcam FOV.

Should I use Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

Use Ethernet whenever possible. A dropped video session disrupts therapeutic rapport and may constitute a service interruption. A USB Ethernet adapter costs $15 and eliminates Wi-Fi drops.
