Judicial and Administrative Proceedings. If You are involved in a lawsuit or a dispute, we may disclose health information about You in response to a court or administrative order. We may also disclose health information about You in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute, but only if efforts have been made to tell You about the request or to obtain an order protecting the information requested. Public Health Risks. We may disclose health information about You for public health purposes, including: • Prevention or control of disease, injury or disability • Reporting births and deaths • Reporting child abuse or neglect • Reporting reactions to medications or problems with products • Notifying people of recalls of products • Notifying a person who may have been exposed to a disease or may be at risk for contracting or spreading a disease • Notifying the appropriate government authority if we believe a patient has been the victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence. We will only make this disclosure if You agree or when required or authorized by law. Research. Under certain circumstances, we may use and disclose health information about You for research purposes. For example, a research project may involve comparing the health and recovery of all patients who received one medication to those who received another, for the same condition. All research projects, however, are subject to a special approval process. This process evaluates a proposed research project and its use of health information, trying to balance the research needs with patients' need for privacy of their health information. Before we use or disclose health information for research, the project will have been approved through this research approval process. We may, however, disclose health information about You to people preparing to conduct a research project so long as the health information they review does not leave the Practice.
