My wife is a licensed clinical social worker who does a lot of Tele-therapy. Her workplace provided a Chromebook (ugh) a few years ago and it’s on its last legs. Yesterday it locked up in the middle of a session (she reconnected via cell phone).

IT says that they won’t provide a new one and she’ll have to use her personal computer. That means installing some specialized software and putting confidential patient information on it.

Is this legal? She’s an employee rather than a contractor and this seems like an invasion of personal space and a potential HIPAA violation. Does anyone know?
