Question

Can we put a few concrete steps to direct the delicate privacy issue to a recovery oriented approach?

Problem description

A very strict use of the privacy legislation can be an extremely tough obstacle to recovery

Impact - effect

Consequences for the client can be that a lot of potential resources around him might disappear and remain unused. Among care professionals we often find that gray area, and occasionally we are sometimes faced with a situation where we get the impression that privacy legislation is first and foremost used to protect the professionals. We have already dealt with clients who became at risk of isolation or hospital admission due to not taking full advantage of a support system around them

To do

To do: it seems very interesting to obtain, in a first step, a consensus within the network that recovery oriented care is not reserved for clients of mobile teams. It is not correct to argue that this is a concern that should only be disseminated by the mobile teams. In that first step, we must also avoid that this topic is used as discussion material between professionals having a different view on the issue. Sharing and giving support to recovery goals by the natural network for some of our clients could be a first step.  Bringing peers together may by encouraging as well in this context, provided that there’s a resonance to all network partners
