Bill > SB01067

This bill aims to improve medical care for individuals with rare diseases or special health care needs by requiring emergency health care providers to follow patient-specific emergency protocols. Specifically, the bill would mandate that emergency room physicians, emergency medical personnel, and other emergency health care providers adhere to a detailed medical protocol developed by the patient's primary physician when treating patients with rare conditions during a medical emergency. The purpose of this requirement is to enhance medical outcomes and protect the health and well-being of these vulnerable patients by ensuring that emergency medical staff have access to and follow specialized, individualized treatment guidelines that take into account the unique medical characteristics and needs of patients with rare diseases or complex health conditions. By requiring these tailored protocols, the bill seeks to prevent potential complications or inappropriate treatments that might arise from a one-size-fits-all approach to emergency medical care.
