Abstract:
In this commentary, we explore the clinical and educational implications of the study by Recupero and Harms on the standard of care (SOC) as it pertains to obtaining psychiatric outpatient clinical records of prior treatment. We discuss differences between the legal and clinical SOCs and make recommendations to incorporate risk management training and education about the medicolegal aspects of SOC in psychiatry residency curricula.
