Patient privacy and confidentiality form a crucial component of the patient-doctor treatment relationship, particularly when seeking treatment for mental health or substance use disorders.

Behavioral Health Consent Management
Privacy and confidentiality concerns are currently limiting the inclusion of behavioral health data in electronic health information exchange efforts. ONC has provided a number of tools and recommendations to address some of these concerns.
