Best Practices in Navigating HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2: A Client, Family and Organizational Perspective
On Thursday, July 30 at 2:00 pm (ET), SAMHSA will be hosting a webinar to assist providers with understanding HIPAA, the substance use disorder confidentiality regulations (42 CFR Part 2). As providers know, these regulations can be confusing for individuals and families who are new to mental health/substance use disorders (SUDs). Individuals and families have better success at recovery if their support systems can stay involved in ongoing care and engage in shared decision making as part of treatment for mental illnesses and substance use disorders (SUDs).
This webinar will explore what people need to know about HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 from a client, family, and organizational perspective. Our speaker will provide an easy to understand overview of the law. Learn practical tips to ensure that all parties who can and want to be involved in treatment are involved from the beginning. The webinar will finish with policy and practice guidelines for organizations and programs to successfully implement HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2. Guidance will include protocol for data collection, data sharing strategies, and supporting clients and families.
