AI Summary
This bill, known as the Patient's Right to Know Act of 2018, requires certain healthcare regulatory boards in California to mandate that licensees on probation pursuant to an order made on or after July 1, 2019, provide a separate written disclosure to patients or their representatives before the patient's first visit. The disclosure must include the licensee's probation status, length, end date, practice restrictions, the board's contact information, and how the patient can find more details on the board's website. The bill also requires these boards to provide specific information about licensees on probation on their online license lookup pages. There are some exceptions to the disclosure requirement, such as in emergency situations or when the patient is unable to comprehend the disclosure.
