Missouri HB3457 mandates hospitals to flag medically complex pediatric patients in their electronic health records.
Missouri HB3457 requires hospitals with emergency departments to implement a visible electronic alert for medically complex pediatric patients within their existing electronic health record systems. This alert must provide rapid access to the patient's care plan, which includes diagnoses, medications, and emergency information. Parents or legal guardians can request inclusion of their child in this alert system and submit a care plan. The bill ensures that hospitals comply with privacy laws and protects health care providers from additional liability for good-faith reliance on the care plans.
