Relating to: a statewide Parkinson’s disease registry. (FE)

AB 571 creates a statewide Parkinson’s disease registry to collect and track health data on Parkinson’s disease and related conditions (like multiple system atrophy). Health care providers must report anonymized patient data - including diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, and demographics - to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for storage and analysis. The registry will generate annual public reports on disease incidence, prevalence, and trends via a dedicated website, with strict privacy safeguards (e.g., coded data, IRB-approved research access). This affects health care facilities, providers, and patients, but does not impose new costs or treatment requirements.
