informed consent; medical interventions

Summary

The bill obligates any health professional to get a written, signed consent from a patient before performing a medical procedure, treatment, device, drug, injection, medication, or other health‑related action, and to keep that consent in the medical record. An emergency care exception means the rule does not apply when immediate treatment is needed. It applies to all patients receiving non‑emergency care in Arizona.
