QM Updates: March 24, 2023

The new E-Communication Consent Form is replacing the Telehealth Consent form and the Cell Phone Agreement. Please review and complete this new form with your clients at your next appointment even if you had previously completed the Telehealth Consent form or Cell Phone Agreement. This is because the new consents include NEW information re: email, text, and transportation option notifications, which are requirements from DHCS. It also allows for the option of sending telehealth appt links through unencrypted email with client’s informed consent. The new E-Communication Consent form is also available in the “Clinical Consent Form” in Avatar and the Telehealth Consent and Cell Phone Agreement have now been removed. The How to Guide: Avatar Clinical Consent Form and Avatar Clinical Consent Form Scripts have also been updated to reflect the E-Communication form.
