Colorado SB162 delays the release of sensitive test results in electronic health records.
Colorado SB162, known as the "Sensitive Test Results Protection Act," mandates a three-business-day delay before sensitive test results can be released to patients through electronic health records or patient portals. The bill defines "sensitive test results" as pathology or radiology reports ordered for diagnosing or monitoring cancer, or test results revealing a genetic marker related to a cancer condition. Exceptions allow immediate release if the patient's healthcare provider authorizes it or if the patient specifically requests immediate results for a particular test.
