HRS §321-503
Who must share death records for disability death reviews
When the state health director asks in writing, medical providers, related service providers, and state and county agencies must give the department and its chosen reviewers information about the death of a person with developmental or intellectual disabilities. This is to help the department review the death. If this rule conflicts with other state privacy laws, this rule wins.
