Bill > S07337

This bill amends the Public Health Law to include the diagnosis of asthma or other respiratory diseases for which rescue inhaler treatment is prescribed in the statewide immunization information system. The bill requires health care providers to report such diagnoses and rescue inhaler prescriptions to the Department of Health, which can then use this information for outreach, quality improvement, and disease control efforts. The bill also allows schools, camps, and other authorized entities to access this information to verify a student's health status and provide appropriate services.
