Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act. Defines "business associate", "covered entity", "facility", "health information exchange" ("HIE"), "HIE purposes", "HIPAA", "integrated health system", and "interdisciplinary team" and changes the definition of "confidential communication" and "record". Provides that an HIE, person, therapist, facility, agency, interdisciplinary team, integrated health system, business associate, or covered entity may, without a recipient's consent, use, disclose, or redisclose information from a recipient's record to certain entities for specified purposes. Provides that a recipient may opt-out of having his or her record disclosed. Makes corresponding changes throughout the rest of the Act.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
740 ILCS 110/13from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 813

In provisions which limit the purposes for which certain information may be disclosed, adds the purposes of coordinating care and governmentally mandated public health reporting. Provides that the rules, standards, or contractual obligations of the Illinois Health Information Exchange Authority shall permit a recipient to revoke a prior decision to opt-out or a decision not to opt-out. Provides that the Authority shall give consideration to the format and content of certain required disclosures and the availability to recipients of information regarding an HIE and the rights of recipients to expressly decline the further disclosure of the record by an HIE to third parties. Provides that the Authority shall also give annual consideration to enable a recipient to expressly decline the further disclosure by an HIE to third parties of selected portions of the recipient's record while permitting disclosure of the recipient's remaining patient health information. Provides that the Authority in its discretion may consider the extent to which relevant health information technologies reasonably available to therapists and HIEs in this State reasonably enable the effective segmentation of specific information within a recipient's electronic medical record and reasonably enable the effective exclusion of specific information from disclosure by an HIE to third parties, as well as the availability of sufficient authoritative clinical guidance to enable the practical application of such technologies to effect recipient disclosure preferences. Makes additional corresponding changes and adds an immediate effective date.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that the rules, standards, or contractual obligations of the Illinois Health Information Exchange Authority shall provide for written notice of a recipient's right to opt-out which directs the recipient to a health information exchange website containing (i) an explanation of the purposes of the health information exchange; and (ii) audio, visual, and written instructions on how to opt out of participation in whole or in part to the extent possible. Provides that the rules, standards, or contractual obligations shall be reviewed annually and updated as the technical options develop.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Modifies the definition of Health information exchange to include an exchange that has established certain data sharing arrangements. Excludes from the scope of the Act certain point-to-point communications. Includes healthcare providers receiving payment from certain State agencies within the range of entities that may make certain disclosures. Makes other changes.
