Section 450:15-3-61 - Denial of Access to the Designated Record Set from Facilities Operated by ODMHSAS

(a) ODMHSAS may deny, in whole or in part, the designated record set under certain conditions. Some denials provide the consumer with a right to a review of the denial while others do not.

(b) The consumer does not have a right of review for a denial of access if the denial is made on the following bases:

(1) If the facility is a correctional institution or acting under the direction of a correctional institution, and access to a copy of the information in the designated record set would jeopardize the health, safety, security, custody or rehabilitation of the consumer or other inmates, or the safety of any officer, employee or other person at the correctional institution or responsible for the transporting of the consumer.

(2) The information in the designated record set was obtained by the facility in the course of research that includes treatment of the research participants, while such research is in progress, provided the consumer has agreed to the denial of access in conjunction with the consumer's consent to participate in the research and the facility has informed the consumer the right of access will be reinstated upon completion of the research.

(3) The information in the designated record set was obtained under a promise of confidentiality from someone other than a health care provider and such access would be reasonably likely to reveal the source of the information.

(c) The consumer has a right of review for a denial of access if the denial is made on the following bases:

(1) A licensed mental health professional has determined, in the exercise of professional judgment, that access to the designated record set by the consumer is reasonably likely to endanger the life or physical safety of the consumer or another person;

(2) The requested designated record set makes reference to another person unless such other person is a health care provider and a licensed mental health professional has determined, in the exercise of professional judgment, that the access requested is reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to such other person; or

(3) The request for access is made by the consumer's personal representative and a licensed mental health professional has determined, in the exercise of professional judgment, that the provision of access to such personal representative is reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to the consumer or another person.

(d) In lieu of providing access to the designated record set, the facility may provide the consumer with a summary of the requested information, if the consumer agrees in advance to such a summary.
