Nothing in this Act shall be construed to create a private right of action against a hospital, a hospital affiliate, a hospital employee, or a consultant or contractor with whom a hospital has a contractual relationship solely for attempting to contact an emergency contact, as described in Section 14 of this Act, or providing instruction to a designated caregiver, as described in Section 20 of this Act. A hospital, a hospital affiliate, a hospital employee, or a consultant or contractor with whom a hospital has a contractual relationship shall not be held liable, except for willful or wanton misconduct, for services rendered or not rendered by the caregiver to the patient or for the hospital's inability to contact, or timeliness in contacting, an emergency contact. Nothing in this Act shall delay the provision of care to a patient, the discharge of a patient, or the transfer of a patient from a hospital to another facility.
