(1) Licensees shall hold paramount the welfare of persons served professionally.
(A) Licensees shall use every resource available, including referral to other specialists as needed, to provide the best service possible.
(B) Licensees shall fully inform persons served of the nature and possible effects of the service.
(C) Licensees' fees shall be commensurate with services rendered.
(D) Licensees shall provide appropriate access to records of persons served professionally.
(E) Licensees shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid injuring person in the delivery of professional services.

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
Ethical Proscriptions are formal statements of prohibitions that are derived from the Principles of Ethics.
(1) The following proscriptions are derived from 690:15-1-3(1):
(A) Licensees must not exploit persons in the delivery of professional services, including accepting persons for treatment when benefit cannot reasonably be expected or continuing treatment unnecessarily.
(B) Licensees must not guarantee the results of any therapeutic procedures, directly or by implication. A reasonable statement of prognosis may be made, but caution must be exercised not to mislead persons served professionally to expect results that cannot be predicted from sound evidence.
(C) Licensees must not use persons for teaching or research in a manner that constitutes invasion of privacy or fails to afford informed free choice to participate.
(D) Licensees must not provide clinical services except in a professional relationship. They must not evaluate or treat solely by correspondence. Correspondence means a type of practice in which services are delivered through communication methods that do not involve same-time interactivity between the licensee and the patient, such as regular mail, email, and facsimile. This does not preclude follow-up correspondence with persons previously seen, or providing them with general information of an educational nature.
(E) Licensees must not reveal to unauthorized persons any professional or personal information obtained from the person served professionally, unless required by law or unless necessary to protect the welfare of the person or the community.
(F) Licensees must not discriminate in the delivery of professional services on any basis that is unjustifiable or irrelevant to the need for and potential benefit from such services, such as race, sex religion or condition.
(G) Licensees must not charge for services not rendered.
(H) Licensees shall not violate any provisions of the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Licensing Act or Rules.

(1) Licensees should announce services in a manner consonant with highest professional standards in the community.
(2) Licensees should not accept compensation for supervision or sponsorship from persons being supervised or sponsored.
