Expands the amount of information required in client service reports to include the identity of persons who assist a client or patient.

This bill amends the mental hygiene law to require client service reports to include the identity of persons who assist a client or patient. These reports must be prepared for each patient or client receiving services or treatment in a department facility or program. The bill specifies that the identification of persons responsible for providing such services should be limited to their employee identification number, first name, and first initial of their last name when full name identification may place the personal safety of such individual in jeopardy.
