Hi Neil-

You may want to check out a paper on the subject, "Maintenance and Disclosure of Mental Health Records in Primary Care Settings", written by a health care attorney, Elizabeth Saviano, here in California. It's posted on our website, ibhp.org. Go to:

Subject: [PC-BH-Integration] Privacy, HIPAA and information sharing

Hi - there are several state level efforts in Maine to address issues of privacy and information sharing related to mental health integration. We are looking for others who have been down this path and might be a bit ahead of us in figuring some of these issues out. It is my sense that, if certain rules are followed and patients are informed, in general we will be able to share and document information in ways that facilitate integration. We are anxious to learn from others. Please either reply to the list, or contact me separately if you prefer. Thanks, Neil
