HB1102

Hawaii HB1102 repeals the requirement for the Department of Health to approve medical records retention plans before a provider ceases operations.

Hawaii HB1102 amends the retention and preservation of medical records by removing the need for the Department of Health to approve plans from health care providers before they cease operations. The bill specifies that medical records should be kept for 25 years after the last entry, or for minors, until 25 years after they reach the age of majority. The responsibility for compliance with these provisions falls on the health care provider or their successor.
