[Answered]: A 3-year-old child was brought to the emergency…

A 3-year-old child was brought to the emergency department (ED) by emergency medical services (EMS), who reported that the mother called 911 when she found her daughter unresponsive and surrounded by empty bottles of the mother’s extended release oxycodone. The police later request information regarding the child’s ED visit because they are investigating this situation as a child abuse case. What is the most appropriate response? Facilitate the provision of necessary records to law enforcement, following facility policies and procedures. Give the law enforcement officers contact information for the board of directors. Decline to share protected health information on the basis of 42 CFR Part 2. Request that the department chair discuss the case with the police.
