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."

Two-Part Series: Navigating a Shifting Landscape: Patient Privacy, Access, and Health Center Compliance

Session 1: The Compliance Crossroads: Policy Shifts, AI, and the ePHI Landscape in 2025

As privacy regulations, AI policies, and digital health technologies evolve, health centers face increasing complexity in balancing compliance with patient-centered care. This two-part webinar series offers timely, practical guidance to help health center teams navigate the changing landscape.

In this first session of the Navigating a Shifting Landscape series, we'll provide a big-picture view of the current regulatory environment affecting patient privacy, health information access, and compliance for health centers. Attendees will gain clarity on what’s in effect, what’s in flux, and what’s ahead—from the status of HIPAA Security Rule updates and 2024 policy changes, to how AI policy, cybersecurity enforcement, and law enforcement data access intersect. We’ll also explore the implications of the Risk Analysis Initiative and recent enforcement actions to help your organization align policies in ways that are both compliant and practical.

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.
