Clinicians in health centers encounter an increasing scope of potentially sensitive social history information as screenings for intimate partner violence, sexual and substance use history, and social risks become more common. Simultaneously, health center clinicians face increased expectations to openly share patient records with patients, their patient’s other providers, and with patient proxies. Many of these decisions require decision-making within the encounter, leaving clinicians feeling like they must have the legal and technical expertise to apply in the context of each and every encounter. This series will introduce case examples and encourage participants to discuss these clinical, technology, and regulatory considerations for each.
