HITEQ Health Center Behavioral Health Integrator Badge
Health centers are increasing the integration of behavioral health in primary care, spurred by an increased focus on whole person care and additional funding. Effective use of health IT in conjunction with patient privacy and confidentiality is imperative to support behavioral health.

According to the Office of the National Coordinator, "Health information technology can help to improve behavioral health care and can further enable care coordination and integration, increase information sharing, and support prevention, treatment, and recovery activities. Access to and the exchange and use of behavioral health information as part of routine care can help to improve continuity in care services and support efforts toward achieving an interoperable health care system across the continuum."

Lived Expertise and Data Management: Trauma-Informed Approaches and Perspectives

Corporation for Supportive Housing & HITEQ Highlights

Health centers individually and collectively manage large amounts of data. Patients at health centers are asked to fill and refill out paperwork, surveys, and assessments. Many patients and providers report that the repetition of collecting the same data points can be discouraging, even appearing to undervalue their experiences. In some cases, repeating patient medical, housing, and personal histories can create harm and re-traumatization. In this webinar we will explore why and how lived expertise must be sought after and valued by health centers and allied organizations to improve every stage of the data management process from collection and analysis to data sharing, access, and decision-making, including discussion about Information Blocking rules and navigating the tension between reporting and regulations. Additionally, we will discuss the nexus of racial equity and lived expertise in data management. How data collected or used improperly or carelessly have the potential to harm. The webinar will incorporate recommendations and practices that can be implemented in the short, medium, and long term to use data to reduce and limit the chances of re-traumatization.

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. Multiple federal privacy laws, in addition to state laws, provide privacy protections for mental health and substance use disorder treatment records, while permitting communication of these records to other healthcare providers, patients’ families, and others.
