HB 2714 - DIGEST

(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

Provides that, if a health care provider, licensed physician, or other proper authority designated by the department reasonably believes that a patient's health condition poses an imminent danger to the health or safety of the patient or to any other individual, the health care provider, licensed physician, or other proper authority designated by the department must report the patient to the department, subject to RCW 70.02.050, using a form provided by the department, provided that the patient is thirteen years of age or older.

Requires the department, in cooperation with the department of health, to form a medical advisory board charged with the responsibility of determining, creating, and issuing a list of specific medical conditions that would merit a health care provider, licensed physician, or other proper authority reporting a patient to the department under this act.
