HB2514

Missouri HB2514 establishes rules for medical documentation and patient recording rights.

Missouri HB2514, known as the Missouri Medical Documentation and Patient Recording Accountability Act, mandates that all clinical communications influencing patient care must be documented within the same calendar day or within twenty-four hours if occurring outside regular business hours. It prohibits health care providers from making clinical decisions, diagnoses, or changes in care plans without proper documentation. The bill allows patients or their advocates to record medical encounters, with exceptions to protect other patients' privacy.
