Consent Tool

CRISP has launched a new consent tool, which enables Substance Use Disorder (SUD) providers who have executed a qualified service agreement (QSOA) to share data protected by 42 CFR Part 2 through the HIE upon patient consent. This tool aims to improve care coordination between SUD providers and other health care providers, strengthen continuity of care for patients throughout SUD treatment levels, and ease workflow burden when obtaining consent and disclosing information.

Frequently Asked Questions

CRISP DC is the Health Information Exchange (HIE) for the District of Columbia. It securely connects your healthcare providers, hospitals, labs, and others to share health information instantly, helping improve your care.

Not all SUD data is automatically shared with CRISP DC. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Ask Your Provider: Check with your SUD provider to see if they share data with CRISP DC.
  • What’s Included: If they do, clinical details like lab results, discharge summaries, and treatment information may be shared.
  • Your Choice: You control whether your SUD data is shared by providing consent.

With your consent, your SUD data can be accessed by authorized healthcare providers, payers, and care coordinators for:

  • Treatment: Helping your care team coordinate and manage your care.
  • Payment: Insurance and billing purposes.
  • Healthcare Operations: Activities like quality improvement and care coordination.

You decide how long your consent lasts:

  • Choose a Date: Set a specific expiration date.
  • No Expiration: Select “does not expire” for indefinite consent.
  • Revoke Anytime: Withdraw your consent whenever you choose. Note that data already shared cannot be retrieved.

If you have questions about sharing your SUD data or need assistance completing the consent form, don’t hesitate to ask your healthcare team.
