Introduced by: Donald L. Williams | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Patient's health records. Revises the standard for limiting a patient’s ability to obtain his own record by reason of his treating physician placing a written statement in his record to require that the physician’s opinion be based on a belief that the furnishing to or review by the patient of such records would cause actual harm to the patient’s physical or mental health or cause the patient to be an imminent danger to himself or others. Present law requires that the written statement be based on the physician’s opinion that the furnishing to or review by the patient of his records would be injurious to the subject person's physical or mental health or well-being.
