A social worker is employed at a doctor's office. The program director, who is a doctor at the office, reports that the office will begin providing services via video conferencing to established clients who live in rural areas. The purpose is to increase access to services for clients who lack reliable transportation. What should the social worker do?
The NASW states that social workers should use caution when providing services via electronic media. Social workers should ensure that clients are aware of the potential risks as well as benefits so they can make an informed decision about whether or not they wish to have this service.
