follows:
In order to comply with the provisions of 42 U.S.C. 290dd-2, the
Department of Defense (DoD) blanket routine uses do not apply to this
system of records.
Specifically, records of the identity, diagnosis, prognosis, or
treatment of any client/patient, irrespective of whether or when he/she
ceases to be client/patient, maintained in connection with the
performance of any alcohol or drug abuse, education, training,
treatment, rehabilitation, or research which is conducted, regulated,
or directly or indirectly assisted by any department or agency of the
United States, shall, except as provided therein, be confidential and
be disclosed only for the purposes and under the circumstances
expressly authorized in 42 U.S.C. 290dd-2. This statute takes
precedence over the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, in regard to
accessibility of such records, except to the individual to whom the
record pertains.
The content of any record may be disclosed in accordance with prior
written consent of the patient with respect to whom such record is
maintained, but only to such extent, under such circumstances, and for
purposes as may be allowed under such prescribed regulations.
Information from records may be released without the member's
consent in the following situations:
To medical personnel to the extent necessary to meet a bona fide
medical emergency.
To qualified personnel for the purpose of conducting scientific
research, management audits, or program evaluation, but such personnel
may not identify, directly or indirectly, any individual patient in any
report of such research, audit or evaluation, or otherwise disclose
patient identities in any manner.
If authorized by an appropriate order of a court of competent
jurisdiction granted after application showing good case therefore. In
accessing good cause, the court shall weigh the public interest and the
need for disclosure against the injury to the patient, to the physician
patient relationship, and to the
[[Page 7770]]
treatment services. Upon the granting of such order, the court, in
determining the extent to which any disclosure of all or any part of
any record is necessary, shall impose appropriate safeguards against
unauthorized disclosures.
The above prohibitions do not apply to any interchange of records
within the Armed Forces or within those components of the Department of
Veterans Affairs furnishing health care to veterans or between such
components and the Armed Forces.
Note: This system of records contains Individually Identifiable
Health Information. The DoD Health Information Privacy Regulation
(DoD 6025.18-R) issued pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act of 1996, applies to most such health
information. DoD 6025-18-R may place additional procedural
requirements on the uses and disclosures of such information beyond
those found in the Privacy Act of 1974 or mentioned in this system
of records notice.''
