comprehensive services in order to avert relapse, repeated 
hospitalizations, arrest, incarceration, and suicide to provide the 
patient with the opportunity to live in the community through evidence-
based (as defined in section 2 of the Helping Families in Mental Health 
Crisis Act of 2015) assertive outreach and engagement services 
targeting individuals that are homeless, have co-occurring disorders, 
or have a history of treatment failure. The Assistant Secretary for 
Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders shall work with the Director 
of the National Institute of Mental Health to develop a list of such 
evidence-based (as defined in section 2 of the Helping Families in 
Mental Health Crisis Act of 2015) assertive outreach and engagement 
services, as well as criteria to be used to assess the scope and 
effectiveness of such approaches. These programs may include assistant 
outpatient treatment programs under State law where State courts may 
order a treatment plan for an eligible patient that requires--
            ``(1) such patient to obtain outpatient mental health 
        treatment while the patient is living in the community; and
            ``(2) a design to improve access and adherence by such 
        patient to intensive mental health services.''.

    (a) Caregiver Access to Information.--In applying section 
164.502(g) of title 45, Code of Federal Regulations, to an individual 
with serious mental illness an exception for disclosure of specific 
limited protected health information shall be provided if all of the 
following criteria are met for the disclosure by a physician (as 
defined in paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 1861(r) of the Social 
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395x(r))) or other licensed mental health or 
health care professional to an identified responsible caregiver:
            (1) Such disclosure is for information limited to the

        medications, and medication-related instructions, but not 
        including any personal psychotherapy notes.
            (2) Such disclosure is necessary to protect the health, 
        safety, or welfare of the individual or general public.
            (3) The information to be disclosed will be beneficial to 
        the treatment of the individual if that individual has a co-
        occurring acute or chronic medical illness.
            (4) The information to be disclosed is necessary for the 
        continuity of treatment of the medical condition or mental 
        illness of the individual.
            (5) The absence of such information or treatment will 
        contribute to a worsening prognosis or an acute medical 
        condition.
            (6) The individual by nature of the severe mental illness 
        has or has had a diminished capacity to fully understand or 
        follow a treatment plan for their medical condition or may

years.
    (d) Provider Access to Information.--Health care providers may 
listen to information or review medical history provided by family

information into the patient's care.
    (e) Definitions.--For purposes of this section:
            (1) Covered entity.--The term ``covered entity'' has the 
        meaning given such term in section 106.103 of title 45, Code of

                history of abuse.
            (4) Individual with a serious mental illness.--The term 
        ``individual with a serious mental illness'' means, with

                        with or limits one or more major life 
                        activities of the individual.
                Such term includes an individual with autism spectrum
