NE Code § 71-8401 (2014) What's This?

71-8401. Legislative findings.

The Legislature finds that medical records contain personal and sensitive information that if improperly used or released may do significant harm to a patient's interests. Patients need access to their own medical records as a matter of fairness to enable them to make informed decisions about their health care and correct inaccurate or incomplete information about themselves.
