description Telehealth, the use of modern information technology to deliver health services to remote locations, poses both opportunities and problems for social work. Home health "visits" featuring a social worker in one state and a patient in another, therapy on the Internet, and the transmission of patient records across state and national boundaries raise important ethical and legal questions.
