§ 37.2-711. Exchange of information
The Department and state facilities may exchange consumer-specific information for former and current consumers with community services boards or behavioral health authorities to monitor the delivery, outcome, and effectiveness of services; however, no publicly available report or information produced or generated by them shall reveal the identity of any consumer. Publicly available information shall be designed to prevent persons from being able to gain access to combinations of consumer characteristic data elements that reasonably could be expected to reveal the identity of any consumer. In order to collect unduplicated information, the Department, subject to all regulations adopted by the Board or by agencies of the United States government that govern confidentiality of patient information, may require that the individuals receiving services disclose or furnish their social security numbers.
