Senate Bill 570 establishes a statewide Parkinson's disease registry under the Department of Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The bill mandates that healthcare providers report cases of Parkinson's disease and related parkinsonisms to the registry, which will collect data on the incidence, prevalence, and outcomes of these conditions. If a patient opts out of participating in the registry, only the diagnosis will be reported. The bill also requires the creation of a public website to provide annual reports and relevant data on Parkinson's disease, and it allows for the sharing of data with other registries and researchers, while ensuring confidentiality through a coding system.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the Department of Health Services to assist in the establishment and maintenance of the registry and outlines the confidentiality measures for the data collected. It specifies that any identifying information about individuals will be kept confidential and not disclosed in any legal proceedings. The bill creates new legal language in sections 36.47, 146.82 (2) (a) 8m., and 255.18 of the statutes to formalize these requirements and processes.
