Description: Behavioral health and substance abuse records are covered by specific state and federal laws but appropriate access to this information is still extremely important for continuity of care. We will discuss the importance of information governance as it relates to behavioral health records and what you need to know to create ideal policies on the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the Right to Access provision, Release of Information, Health Information Exchange (HIE), and record retention in compliance with the specific regulations.
