Health information of substance abuse treatment

Reference no: EM133675975

Question

At a party, you notice that a nurse you work with is on the back porch smoking marijuana. Even though she is not impaired when she wakes up to work the next day, do you have a responsibility to report her even though it occurred off duty? Explain your answer.

Based on your answer, the nurse may be enrolled in a substance abuse program. Perform Internet research and compare and contrast release of information forms used in an ordinary health care setting with those used in a substance abuse setting. What did you find? Hint: Look up 42 CFR part 2 and how this plays a part in the release forms. Here is also an article that gives more information on the differences between ROI forms

Lastly, give a very brief summary (1 or two sentences) on instances where disclosure of health information of substance abuse treatment may be made without written patient consent. Here is also an article that gives more information on when disclosure of health information of substance abuse treatment may be made without written patient consent.
