By default, SmartCare enforces privacy regulations, including HIPAA and 42 CFR. This means that people working in mental health programs are not able to see any of the client’s treatment information for substance use programs and vice versa. This limitation is enforced by each user’s CDAG. In essence, there is a wall between CDAGs.
When a client signs the Coordinated Care Consent, this wall is removed. Users will be able to see all the client’s treatment information, regardless of their CDAG. This includes historical information and future appointments. You’ll still be required to select your program when creating a new document. This is to ensure that all documents are appropriately sorted in case the client revokes their consent, as is their right.
