Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill updates Vermont's Patient's Bill of Rights to include advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants alongside physicians. It clarifies that these providers are responsible for a patient's care and must provide information about diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The bill also requires that all hospital patients be under the care of a physician, physician assistant, or APRN, and that their professional case records be signed by one of these practitioners.
