AN ACT EXCLUDING PATIENT HEALTH INFORMATION AND MEDICAL RECORDS RELATING TO PLASTIC SURGERY FROM THE STATE-WIDE HEALTH INFORMATION EXCHANGE.

SB 470 excludes patient health information and medical records related to plastic surgery from the state's Health Information Exchange (HIE). This affects patients receiving plastic surgery and healthcare providers who maintain those records. The bill amends state law to specifically remove plastic surgery records from the HIE system, preventing them from being shared across participating healthcare facilities. It does not change medical practices or access to care, only modifies which health data is included in the state's shared electronic health record system.
