Grants parents, guardians, and authorized representatives online access to medical and personal history of residents of certain residential care facilities.
This bill requires community-based residential programs (like group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities) and long-term care facilities (including nursing homes and assisted living) to provide parents, legal guardians, or authorized representatives with real-time online access to residents' medical and personal records. The online portal must include all medications, treatments, procedures, and important incidents like falls or injuries during the resident's stay. Facilities must maintain these records as updated, accessible information rather than relying on paper copies or phone requests. The bill applies to facilities licensed under New Jersey law and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
