It's the first Saturday in September, which means it is Standards Saturday! Standard A19 states states that centers may receive requests from outside sources for release of information. Such outside sources could include other centers, educators, judicial officers, other therapists/medical practitioners or caseworkers. All participant information is considered confidential and must be treated as such. The center needs to have a written procedure for handling such requests. The center may decide to create a form for this information. Information covered can include, but is not limited to, contact information, instructor progress reports or equestrian skill goals. Centers that are providing medical and mental health services should also consider HIPAA requirements.
