Information about you and your care cannot be disclosed without your written permission.
Federal and state laws protect the relationship and communications between you and your medical or behavioral health care provider.
The chief guiding principle of any practice of medicine and health care was best articulated by the Greek philosopher, Hippocrates: First do no harm. The following scenarios are indicators of potential harm, therefore, in these circumstances, the provider of care has a duty to warn appropriate authorities in order to avoid potential or more harm of those involved.
- Suspected dependant adult or elder abuse or child abuse/neglect.
- If a client is threatening serious physical harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
- If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to work with my client to ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
- A judge orders information to be released.
