SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health; cancer registry. Requires the Joint Commission on Health Care to include, in its study of the cancer registry, an analysis of the exchange of patient-identifying information pursuant to reciprocal data-sharing agreements with other cancer registries and confidentiality protections for patient data. The Commission is directed to examine the potential for inappropriate disclosure of patient data as a result of such data exchange, whether the patient should be required to consent to disclosure or authorized to bar such disclosure and any appropriate penalties for breach of confidentiality.
