HIPAA and Mental Health: What Law Enforcement Needs to Know
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a term that often sends shivers down the spines of those working in healthcare and law enforcement.

How do you balance patient confidentiality with the need for public safety? That's exactly what we'll be unraveling here. We'll look at how HIPAA applies to mental health, what law enforcement officers need to know, and how they can navigate these regulations without hitting a wall.
