As psychology has moved into the digital age and many psychological services are provided remotely, risk management has become more complicated and more important as the new technologies present new risks. In addition to the traditional risks to practitioners, the new risks include issues surrounding interstate practice, the increasing problems presented by negative online reviews, HIPAA, and the No Surprises Act.
