Arizona HB2247 requires physicians to inform patients of their option to donate blood for surgery.
Arizona HB2247 amends the state's health professional statutes to mandate that physicians inform patients of their option to donate blood for their own use or to have a compatible family member or friend donate blood before surgery. If the patient opts for autologous blood donation or a directed blood donation, the physician must contact a blood bank to obtain and complete the necessary paperwork in a timely manner. This provision aims to ensure patients are aware of their blood donation options prior to surgery.
