Addressing the disclosure of health information for care coordination.

House Bill 1287 expands the circumstances under which certain licensed and credentialed healthcare professionals can disclose patient health information. It specifically allows for disclosure when already permitted under Chapter 70.02 RCW, which governs health care information. For some licensed professionals, the bill also permits sharing information if they reasonably believe it will prevent an imminent danger to an individual's health or safety, though they are not obligated to do so. This aims to facilitate care coordination and address safety concerns by modifying existing confidentiality rules.
