Illinois HB1332 mandates hospitals to offer patients a chance to designate an emergency contact during check-in.
Illinois HB1332 amends the Hospital Licensing Act to require hospitals to provide patients with the opportunity to designate an emergency contact at the time of check-in. This contact will be notified if the patient dies or experiences a significant change in condition. Hospital staff must then communicate with the designated contact to determine their preferred notification method, which can be a telephone call, a notification by hospital staff upon the contact's arrival, or another method.
