Establishes State Parkinson's disease registry and awareness campaign.
This bill establishes a statewide Parkinson's disease registry in New Jersey to track cases and support public awareness. It requires healthcare providers to report diagnosed Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonisms cases to the Department of Health, while allowing individuals to opt out of the registry. The registry collects anonymized data on incidence, treatment, and demographics (with patient consent), ensuring strict confidentiality through coded records and secure data sharing agreements. This directly affects healthcare providers who must report cases and patients with Parkinson's disease who may choose to participate or opt out. The bill also creates a public awareness program to educate residents about the condition.
