A6 Hood River News, Saturday, July 4, 2015 Governor Kate Brown signs bills to improve mental health On Tuesday, June 30, Gov- ernor Brown had a ceremo- nial signing for two bills that will help families and care- givers play a larger role in a loved one’s mental health care. House Bill 2023 directs hospitals and acute care fa- cilities to develop and imple- ment comprehensive dis- charge planning for patients suffering from a mental health crisis. To prevent the “emergency room revolving door,” discharge planning must include a “warm hand- off ” to community care and should include the patient’s support network whenever possible. Companion House Bill 2948 clarifies conditions for disclosure under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This bill clarifies when health care providers may share information about pa- tients who are experiencing a mental health crisis. It pro- tects health care providers from civil liability for dis- closing protected health in- formation within the para- meters allowed by HIPAA. Providers are often unclear about HIPAA and err on the side of extreme caution, withholding infor mation that could be critical. House Bill 2948 is named the Susanna Blake Gabay Act, in honor of Jerry and Susan Gabay’s only child, who took her life within one month of being released from the hospital in 2010. De- s p i t e S u s a n n a ’s h av i n g signed a release, the hospital did not notify or engage her parents upon her release. “Even where the patient has s i g n e d a re l e a s e, m a ny providers are just not accus- tomed to communicating with families,” said Jerry, who brought both legislative concepts to his state repre- s e n t at ive, A l i s s a Ke ny - Guyer (D, Portland). After his daughter’s sui- cide, Jerry joined the NAMI Oregon State Board of Direc- tors and co-authored a na- tionally recognized suicide prevention checklist. “At a minimum, providers must be encouraged to seek autho- rizations to communicate with appropriate supporters of the patient and then actu- ally communicate,” said Jerry. “There is ample litera- ture indicating that exten- sive communication is a best practice for therapy and sui- cide prevention.” Julie Magers, a staff mem- ber of NAMI Multnomah, testified in support of the legislation with her 20 year old daughter, Riley. Four years after Riley was hospi- talized, both women say that their positive outcome was the result of discharge plans that included giving Julie Grave Matters discussion series: funerary practices and green burials Join in the discussion of funerary rituals and modes o f re m e m b e r i n g at t h e H o o d R ive r L i b r a r y o n Wednesday, July 15, at 5:30 p.m. Learn about new “green” trends in funerary prac- tices and take a virtual tour of a local natural burial ground with Jodie Buller and Denise Urban from White Eagle Memorial Pre- serve Cemetery at Ekone Submitted image FREE DISCUSSION of Funerary Practices and Green Burials at the Hood River Library on Wednesday, July 15, 5:30 p.m. Ranch (one of only a few wilderness cemeteries in the country).

And the number of suicides has climbed since then,” contin- ued Rep. Keny-Guyer. “There are many challenges in fill- ing the gaps of the fragment- ed mental health system. One of them is the fear that providers have in disclosing information to those closest to patients, when it is often critical to their care.” House Bill 2023 and 2948 received passionate testimo- ny from several families and passed with unanimous sup- port in both the House and Senate.
