The data that defines this market
Why 42 CFR Part 2 changes the archive design
42 CFR Part 2 is the federal regulation governing the confidentiality of substance-use-disorder (SUD) treatment records. It requires patient consent for every disclosure (with limited exceptions), prohibits re-disclosure without additional consent, and applies stricter audit requirements than HIPAA. An archive holding SUD records must enforce these rules at the record level, not just the user level.

Answers to the questions buyers ask
Why is behavioral-health archival different from general medical archival?
Behavioral-health records, particularly substance-use-disorder treatment records, are governed by 42 CFR Part 2 in addition to HIPAA. The regulation requires patient consent for every disclosure (with limited exceptions), prohibits re-disclosure without additional consent, and applies stricter audit requirements. An archive holding these records must enforce these rules at the record level.
