To improve client care coordination and access to services, the MD BoS HMIS Privacy Policy & Notice have been revised to reflect that the MD BoS HMIS will operate under Implied Consent, meaning that persons applying for &/or receiving services from an MD BoS HMIS Partner Agency agrees to allow End Users to use &/or disclose information as described in the MD BoS HMIS Privacy Policy / Notice.
When a client signs the ‘HMIS Client Data Sharing Opt-Out Form’ they are opting out of full data sharing with the MD BoS HMIS Partner Agencies & will need to specify their preferences for sharing amongst Partner Agency projects in the MD BoS HMIS. In addition, if the client does not wish to share information with the MSHDW, they will need to complete the form and select Option 3.
- Option 1: CONSENT to share only with the LHC’s MD BoS CE project
- Option 2: DENY consent to share with other MD BoS HMIS Partner Agencies
- Option 3: DENY consent to share with the MSHDW
The Partner Agency will then complete the steps outlined the attached 'How -to -Guide: Restricting HMIS Client Records' to properly restrict the clients HMIS record based on the clients selection.
