Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Who must not disclose the identity of a client whose records are reviewed during a service review?

1. Only the board members involved

2. Any person not directly involved in the review process

3. Only the hospital staff involved

4. Anyone within the same network

The correct answer is: Any person not directly involved in the review process

During a service review, it is important to maintain confidentiality and protect the identity of the client. Both the board members involved and hospital staff may have access to the client's records as part of their job responsibilities. However, they must not disclose the client's identity to anyone else, even if they are within the same network. Only those directly involved in the review process, such as the board members and hospital staff, should have access to the client's information. Therefore, option B, which states that any person not directly involved in the review process, is the correct answer as it ensures the client's confidentiality is maintained. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not specify that only those involved in the review process should have access to the client's records and may potentially lead to the client's identity being disclosed.
