A 6-hour training with Jacqui Abikoff, LICSW, MLADC
February 11, 2022
8:30am–4:00pm
*This training will be virtual only*
PRESENTATION: Changes in confidentiality regulations and a changing healthcare landscape demanding increase integration of behavioral and physical healthcare make it critical for substance use disorder and mental health practitioners to have a firm grasp of the rules and laws that govern their practice in order to ensure the confidentiality and privacy of the clients they serve. Managed care, duty to warn issues, mandated reporting, the growing number of mandated clients, the increase in integrated healthcare delivery networks, the growing partnerships between treatment and criminal justice, and the litigious nature of our society add additional stress to this requirement. This workshop will examine the recent changes in the Federal Confidentiality Regulations governing Substance Use Disorder Patient Records (42 C.F.R. Part 2) and the areas of conflict between these regulations and HIPAA. The practical application of these regulations will be examined with respect to integrated care networks, electronic health records, Health Information Organizations, managed care, client safety issues, duty to warn, subpoenas and court orders. At the end of this training participants will:
- Learn the most recent changes to the Federal Confidentiality Rules (42 CFR Part 2) and how they impact client privacy and counselor responsibility.
- Identify differences between HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 and how to reconcile them in practice;
- Learn to navigate right to know vs. need to know issues when working with clients involved with the criminal justice system, DCYF and integrated care partnerships.
