Title: Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records 
Abstract:

The final rule will amend 42 CFR part 2 to update the regulations for the modern health care context with respect to health information technology and new health care models. The goal of this rule is to balance the need for information exchange in new health care models and applications with appropriate privacy protections for those undergoing treatment for substance use disorders. The revisions to the regulations would remain consistent with 42 USC 290dd-2 (confidentiality of records)
