Section 16-39-3-7 - Release of records; necessary findings At the conclusion of the hearing, the court may order the release of the patient's mental health record if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) other reasonable methods of obtaining the information are not available or would not be effective; and(2) the need for disclosure outweighs the potential harm to the patient. In weighing the potential harm to the patient, the court shall consider the impact of disclosure on the provider-patient privilege and the patient's rehabilitative process.Pre-1993 Recodification Citation: 16-4-8-3.2(g).
