When disclosures are made under Part 2, what must be maintained?

• A. Written record of all information disclosed
• B. Public notice to community
• C. No records required
• D. A separate release form

Answer: (A)

Disclosures under Part 2 require maintaining a written record of each disclosure. This log ensures accountability and protects patient privacy by capturing who received the information, what was disclosed, when, and for what purpose (and the basis of the disclosure, such as a valid consent). Public notice to the community isn’t required, keeping no records isn’t allowed, and while releases may be involved, the essential requirement is the documented record of disclosures.
