Welcome to 'CE Corner' “The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything . . . .

To help prevent disclosures of patient information, APA offers specific guidance in its Ethics Code (APA, 2010) and its "Record Keeping Guidelines" (APA, 2007). Unfortunately, with today's ever-evolving technology, such guidance may not be enough. This article gives an overview of the current record-keeping and communication regulations and guidelines, looks at new threats to client data, discusses the ethical considerations psychologists face, and advocates for the foundation of best practices to prevent breaches of client data.
