| | | SB1896 | - 39 - | LRB097 02968 KTG 46092 b |
|
| 1 | | the United States of
America, or the Constitution of the State | 2 | | of Illinois solely because of his

| 4 | | (c) Persons who abuse or are dependent on alcohol or other | 5 | | drugs who are
also suffering from medical conditions shall not | 6 | | be discriminated against in
admission or treatment by any | 7 | | hospital which receives support in any form from

| 1 | | adjusting the premium rates) of an individual on the basis | 2 | | of the contents of such records. | 3 | | (2) Discrimination in the provision of health care | 4 | | services. It shall be unlawful for any health care provider | 5 | | to deny access to or discriminate in the provision of | 6 | | medically necessary health care services to an individual | 7 | | who is the subject of a record described in subsection (a) | 8 | | of this Section on the basis of the contents of such | 9 | | record. Nothing in this subsection is intended to require a | 10 | | health care provider to deliver a service which is | 11 | | clinically inappropriate or which the health care provider | 12 | | does not ordinarily provide to the general public. Nor is | 13 | | anything in this Section intended to prevent a substance | 14 | | abuse recovery program, residential program, or other | 15 | | program from conditioning access to and continuing | 16 | | participation in the program on maintenance of sobriety or | 17 | | non-possession of alcohol or drugs. | 18 | | (f) Every patient's personal dignity shall be recognized in | 19 | | the provision

| 1 | | (i) Every patient shall be permitted to participate in the | 2 | | planning of his
total care and medical treatment to the extent | 3 | | that his condition permits.
| 4 | | (j) A person shall not be denied treatment solely because | 5 | | he has withdrawn
from treatment against medical advice on a | 6 | | prior occasion or because he has
relapsed after earlier | 7 | | treatment or, when in medical crisis, because of
inability to | 8 | | pay.
| 9 | | (k) The patient in treatment shall be permitted visits by | 10 | | family and
significant others, unless such visits are | 11 | | clinically contraindicated.

| 4 | | concerning the nature of care, procedures and treatment which | 5 | | he will receive.
| 6 | | (q) A patient shall be permitted to refuse to participate | 7 | | in any
experimental research or medical procedure without | 8 | | compromising his access to

informed | 11 | | written consent or otherwise comply with the federal | 12 | | requirements
regarding the protection of human subjects | 13 | | contained in 45 C.F.R.
Part 46.
| 14 | | (r) All medical treatment and procedures shall be | 15 | | administered as ordered

branches in | 22 | | Illinois.
| 23 | | (s) Every patient shall be permitted to refuse medical | 24 | | treatment and to
know the consequences of such action. Such | 25 | | refusal by a patient shall free the

|

or by his | 5 | | physician concerning his care and maintenance. The treatment | 6 | | program
or physician may charge a reasonable fee for the | 7 | | duplication of a record.
| 8 | | (u) No owner, licensee, administrator, employee , or agent | 9 | | of a treatment
program shall abuse or neglect a patient. If | 10 | | staff is aware of abuse of a client, then it is their duty to | 11 | | report abuse consistent with State statute. It is the duty of | 12 | | any program
employee or agent who becomes aware of such abuse | 13 | | or neglect to report it to
the Department immediately.
| 14 | | (v) The administrator of a program may refuse access to the | 15 | | program to any
person if the actions of that person while in | 16 | | the program are or could be
injurious to the health and safety | 17 | | of a patient or the program, or if the
person seeks access to | 18 | | the program for commercial purposes.
| 19 | | (v-5) All patients admitted to community-based treatment | 20 | | facilities shall be considered voluntary treatment patients | 21 | | and such patients will not be contained within a locked | 22 | | setting. | 23 | | (w) (Blank) A patient may be discharged from a program | 24 | | after he gives the
administrator written notice of his desire | 25 | | to be discharged or upon completion
of his prescribed course of | 26 | | treatment. No patient shall be discharged or
transferred |
| | | SB1896 | - 44 - | LRB097 02968 KTG 46092 b |
|
| 1 | | without the preparation of a post-treatment aftercare plan by | 2 | | the
program .
| 3 | | (x) Patients and their families or legal guardians shall | 4 | | have the right to
present complaints concerning the quality of | 5 | | care provided to the patient,
without threat of discharge or | 6 | | reprisal in any form or manner whatsoever. The
treatment | 7 | | provider shall have in place a mechanism for receiving and | 8 | | responding
to such complaints, and shall inform the patient and | 9 | | his family or legal
guardian of this mechanism and how to use | 10 | | it. The provider shall analyze any
complaint received and, when | 11 | | indicated, take appropriate corrective action.
Every patient | 12 | | and his family member or legal guardian who makes a complaint
| 13 | | shall receive a timely response from the provider which | 14 | | substantively addresses
the complaint. The provider shall | 15 | | inform the patient and his family or legal
guardian about other | 16 | | sources of assistance if the provider has not resolved the
| 17 | | complaint to the satisfaction of the patient or his family or | 18 | | legal guardian.
| 19 | | (y) A resident may refuse to perform labor at a program | 20 | | unless such labor
is a part of his individual treatment program | 21 | | as documented in his clinical
record.
| 22 | | (z) A person who is in need of treatment may apply for | 23 | | voluntary admission
to a treatment program in the manner and | 24 | | with the rights provided for under
regulations promulgated by | 25 | | the Department. If a person is refused admission to
a licensed | 26 | | treatment program, the staff of the program, subject to rules
|
| | | SB1896 | - 45 - | LRB097 02968 KTG 46092 b |
|
| 1 | | promulgated by the Department, shall refer the person to | 2 | | another treatment or
other appropriate program.

Further, records and information governed by the | 5 | | AIDS Confidentiality Act and
the AIDS Confidentiality and | 6 | | Testing Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 697) shall be
maintained in | 7 | | accordance therewith.

activity relating to alcohol or | 11 | | other drug abuse or dependency education, early
intervention, | 12 | | intervention, training, treatment or rehabilitation which is
| 13 | | regulated, authorized, or directly or indirectly assisted by | 14 | | any Department or
agency of this State or under any provision | 15 | | of this Act shall be confidential

apply to the | 9 | | records and any follow-up information for disclosure | 10 | | and use in
civil or criminal proceedings arising from | 11 | | the report of suspected abuse or
neglect. | 12 | | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the program's | 13 | | cooperation with the Department of Children and Family | 14 | | Services by allowing access to the patient involved in | 15 | | the mandated report or to staff members for interviews, | 16 | | shall be deemed part of the mandated reporting | 17 | | responsibilities under State law and permissible for | 18 | | disclosure under 42 C.F.R.

obtaining it, is a law | 9 | | enforcement or other official, has obtained a subpoena,
or | 10 | | asserts any other justification for a disclosure or use | 11 | | which is not

|
| 1 | | regulations may contain such definitions, and may
provide | 2 | | for such safeguards and procedures, including procedures | 3 | | and criteria
for the issuance and scope of court orders, as | 4 | | in the judgment of the
Department are necessary or proper | 5 | | to effectuate the purposes of this Section,
to prevent | 6 | | circumvention or evasion thereof, or to facilitate | 7 | | compliance
therewith.
