CLIENT RECORDS AND CONFIDENTIALITY. A. HSD shall protect the confidentiality, privacy and security of all confidential information and records and shall not release any confidential information to any other third party without the express written authorization of the client when the record is a client record, or the DOH, unless required to do so pursuant to federal law, rule, or court order. MOA#
CLIENT RECORDS AND CONFIDENTIALITY. Computer records are kept on a very secure IT system, accessed only by the Mind in Bexley team. Some of the data collected is made anonymous and can be used to evaluate the service and for research purposes. Client records are maintained in accordance with the Data Protection Xxx 0000. Any request for a copy or sight of these records under the Freedom of Information Xxx 0000, can be made in writing to the CEO of Mind in Bexley Ltd. Numerical data and statistics are reported to the Department of Health and may be used for research purposes. Anything that you tell us is confidential within the Mind in Bexley team, unless we have concerns about the immediate safety of you or anyone else, in which case we will discuss this with senior staff and may need to involve other people. If this becomes necessary we will try to talk to you about this first. It is a condition of this service that we are provided with the name of your GP, so that we can contact them if we have any concerns and we usually provide the GP with a report. If there is a specific reason for you not wishing this report to be sent, please discuss this with your therapist. As an NHS service provider, we provide data reports for monitoring and research purposes to NHS England and the DWP (as part of the employment support programme). This service data information is published but clients are not identifiable. Attendance at sessions and DNA Policy In order for therapy to be consistent and effective, it is important that you attend regularly. If you are not able to attend a booked appointment, please give us as much prior warning as possible so that this appointment can be offered to another client. This allows us to use therapist time well and helps to keep waiting lists down. Cancelling with less than 24 hour notice will be treated as a DNA (Did Not Attend). If you do not attend one appointment without at least 24 hour notice then we will discharge you from the service so that a slot can be offered to someone on the waiting list. We understand that sometimes there are genuine emergencies that prevent clients attending appointments and cannot be foreseen. Should this happen, please contact us within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment to explain the reason for not attending. Please leave a clear message on our answer phone if your call is not answered in person. If you cancel more than two sessions with adequate notice, then your therapist will discuss with you whether now is the right time for yo...
