Short description: 
PATIENT RIGHTS-EMERGENCY SRVCS                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Medical Patient  Rights  Act.   Defines  "patient"  to      
   include  any  person  who  presents  himself  or herself for emergency      
   services at an institution equipped  to  provide  emergency  services.      
   Defines  "emergency services" as the provision of health care services      
   for sudden and, at the time, unexpected onset of  a  health  condition      
   that would lead a prudent layperson to believe that failure to receive      
   immediate  medical  attention  would  result  in serious impairment to      
   bodily function or serious dysfunction of any body organ  or  part  or      
   would  place the person's health in serious jeopardy.  Adds the prompt      
   provision of emergency services as a right of each patient.  Effective      
   immediately.
