The bill amends AS 18.23.005 to enhance patient access to electronic health records. It establishes that patients have the right to inspect and copy any records related to their health care, as previously stated.

This change aims to improve transparency and accessibility of health information for patients, ensuring that they can easily obtain their electronic health records. The bill emphasizes the importance of making these records available to authorized individuals, thereby supporting better health management and patient rights.
