Question:
What form do we need signed from the applicant to be able to speak to a friend or relative for additional functioning information?
Answer:
-
A general privacy release can be used to communicate about the applicant to friends/relatives/other service providers, etc. This can be the SOAR sample (even if it is not for medical records) or a more generic one. Here is another example from CSH. Most agencies have a privacy release that they use at intake or for these purposes.
