Can registered individuals have their directives accessed if they are admitted to a hospital outside of the U.S.?
Mostly yes. The Registry already has numerous Foreign Service employees registered who are regularly out of the country. In the event they are admitted to a hospital overseas, the Registry would use similar verification methods to ensure that person requesting the information is from a legitimate medical institution. This may be more difficult in countries with less developed information technology systems.
