California Medical Board Approves Signage Mandate
On Friday, the Medical Board of California unanimously approved a measure to require doctors in the state to post a sign or tell patients about the agency they should complain to if they are unsatisfied with the care they receive. If unchanged after a series of regulatory hearings scheduled for this summer, the mandate could take effect as early as this fall, according to board spokesperson Candis Cohen.
