In accordance with state law, patients diagnosed with dementia are reported to the County/DMV. Is this a trackable disclosure?
Yes, the disclosure to the DMV must be tracked in the Disclosure Tracking Database. Question: As part of the E5 Rehabilitation Unit discharge, therapists will provide to the patient’s school, clinical information regarding therapeutic reintegration. The information is needed by the school system to provide educational or other accommodations. Is disclosure required? Answer: Disclosure of rehabilitation discharge information (therapists provide patient’s school with clinical information regarding therapeutic reintegration – information needed by the school system to provide educational or other accommodations) to outside entity (not a health care provider) requires a signed authorization by the patient or patient’s representative. With signed authorization, you may share specific PHI with the school and no disclosure tracking is necessary.
