Disposition versions

Full text
3.06.02.01. In addition to the cases provided for in section 3.06.02, a chiropractor may communicate information that is protected by professional secrecy to prevent an act of violence, including a suicide, where the chiropractor has reasonable cause to believe that there is an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to a person or an identifiable group of persons.
However, the chiropractor may only communicate the information to the person exposed to the danger or that person’s representative, and to the persons who can come to that person’s aid.
The chiropractor may only communicate such information as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the information is communicated.
