At the conclusion of the hearing, the court may order the release of the patient's mental health record if the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that:(1) other reasonable methods of obtaining the information are not available or would not be effective; and(2) the need for disclosure outweighs the potential harm to the patient. In weighing the potential harm to the patient, the court shall consider the impact of disclosure on the provider-patient privilege and the patient's rehabilitative process.[Pre-1993 Recodification Citation: 16-4-8-3.2(g).]As added by P.L.2-1993, SEC.22.
