An Act relative to healthcare proxy information

This bill requires hospitals and clinics to store healthcare proxy records in secure electronic formats and mandates that attending physicians include these documents in a patient's medical record alongside do not resuscitate orders. Facilities must also transport these proxies during patient transfers and notify the designated healthcare agent via phone and email once their authority begins. Additionally, the legislation ensures that patients can request their healthcare agents be included in medical discussions with their attending physicians. These changes directly affect healthcare providers and patients who have designated healthcare proxies to manage their medical decisions.
