HB 1732 – Appropriate Notification for Patients Receiving Life-Changing Test Results
January 11, 2025
No Comments
HB 1732 ensures patients receive serious and sensitive medical test results, such as cancer diagnoses or genetic findings, directly from their physician. By implementing a 72-hour delay for these results, it allows physicians time to review, interpret, and provide appropriate context and support, reducing unnecessary patient anxiety and confusion.
