Results from this survey, which also asks providers which of the regulatory flexibilities enabled through Act 66 they are using, will be used to provide an annual report to the General Assembly. The report will only include aggregated – not provider-specific – data. Surveys must be completed by Oct. 25, 2024. The survey is available online. Email all questions regarding this survey to DDAP’s Bureau of Program Licensure.

Registration Link

In the behavioral health world, few things are more intimate and private than a provider’s conversation with a client.

Keeping those sessions secure—and complying with always-evolving government regulations and ethics concerns — is a top priority for behavioral health organizations looking to implement an AI tool.

On October 22 at 2 11 am PT / 2pm ET, join Eleos Health for a 1-hour virtual discussion on “Fortifying the Future: Data Privacy & Security in Behavioral Health AI.”

Facilitated by Eleos Health’s VP of Customer Success Nisheeta Setlur, attendees will hear from behavioral health AI experts Raz Karmi, CISO of Eleos, and Rony Gadiwalla CIO of GRAND Mental Health, as they break down:

  • Which existing and emerging security regulations and best practices apply to behavioral health organizations—and their AI vendor partners.
  • How to navigate key AI security, compliance, and ethical concerns in a behavioral health setting.
  • What steps orgs must take to protect sensitive client information from AI-specific threats.
  • How Eleos accounts for all of the above in our industry-leading AI platform.

Register here and secure your spot. If you can’t make it live, we will send you a recording to watch at your leisure.
