Start with Montana's enacted licensing framework. Add pragmatic trials, provider payment, and published outcomes. Give every patient the right and practical ability to participate in a clinical trial for the most promising treatments.
Let an informed adult consider an experimental treatment after the patient and treating clinician evaluate approved options.
Create a state license with qualified leadership, facility standards, inspection, records, and enforcement.
Put known risks, possible benefits, alternatives, costs, conflicts, privacy, and the right to stop in plain language.
Keep clinicians and facilities accountable to licensing boards, scope-of-practice rules, and safety reporting.
Let clinicians and treatment centers be paid for treatment and trial services. Disclose every charge before care.
Collect the same outcomes for each condition and publish de-identified results so patients, clinicians, and researchers can compare treatments.
The framework above is an educational outline. Montana's enrolled bill and final rules provide the official enacted language, definitions, licensing structure, and implementation detail.
Question 1 of 3
Pragmatic trials compare treatments during routine care. Participation remains voluntary and requires informed consent and appropriate safety oversight.
