Privacy and Confidentiality Policy
We recognize how important it is to maintain and protect your privacy.
Your patient records are protected from disclosure under both state and federal laws relating to mental health services. Conversations and test results are held in strict confidence unless
otherwise provided for by state or federal regulations such as: You are a danger to yourself or to others, or a child is endangered.
If your provider needs to consult with someone regarding your treatment, you will be asked to sign a release form that will
clearly identify the information to be exchanged, the parties involved in the exchange, and the reason for the communication. The original release form will become part of your permanent record.
Except as provided by law, we will not disclose information about your treatment,
or even the fact that you have been seen at Mt. Washington Psychiatric Services, to anyone without your written permission.
All patient records are secured in a locked storage area at Mt. Washington facility.
