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."

Maintaining Personal Connection in a Digital Age of Healthcare -- Team and Collegial Relationships

Virtual Learning Collaborative

Join our learning collaborative designed to explore how technology can enhance, rather than hinder, personal connections in primary care. This series will focus on the person-centered needs of providers, patients, and staff. Utilizing a human-centered design approach, we will cover key topics, such as leveraging technology (e.g., AI, EHRs, and patient portals) to strengthen relationships and maintain connection between visits, balancing the need for easy and timely access to care with health center resources, cultivating a compassionate bedside and webside manner in clinic and virtual visits, and fostering collegial connections among healthcare teams in a digital environment. This learning collaborative is open to community health centers throughout the nation. If you are from a health center and are interested in developing or enhancing your understanding of maintaining personal connection in a digital age, you should join this series!

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.
