Podcast

When a health care provider learns that a patient may have experienced child abuse, mandatory reporting requirements can raise complex legal and ethical questions. In this episode, Gordon Feinblatt health care attorneys Michael Brown and Christopher Dean discuss Maryland’s child abuse reporting laws, recent legislative changes, and how mandatory reporting obligations intersect with HIPAA, Maryland’s medical records confidentiality laws, and professional ethics. They also address practical considerations for health care professionals, including informed consent, staying current on legislative developments, consulting ethics resources, and seeking legal guidance when difficult reporting decisions arise.
