M. Patients; discussions on individual patients.

Arizona statutes do not specifically exempt from OML requirements any discussions about patients.  Many types of medical records, however, are exempt from public inspection.  E.g., A.R.S. § 12-2292A.R.S (“Unless otherwise provided by law, all medical records . . . are privileged and confidential.”).  Moreover, discussion or consideration of records exempt from public inspection may occur in executive session.  A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(2).
