Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill HB 587 significantly strengthens patient protections against abuse in hospitals. It now requires that any hospital staff member who has reasonable cause to believe a patient has been abused must report it promptly, and hospitals must submit these reports to the Department within 24 hours. Additionally, the bill explicitly prohibits retaliation against anyone who makes such a report. These changes are important because they help ensure swift action in response to abuse, creating a safer environment for patients.

Patient protection from abuse.
This Act may be cited as the the Caregiver Advise, Record, and Enable Act.
(a) No administrator, agent, or employee of a hospital or a hospital affiliate, or a member of a hospital's its medical staff, may abuse a patient in the hospital or in a facility operated by a hospital affiliate.
(b) Any hospital administrator, agent, employee, or medical staff member, or an administrator, employee, or physician employed by a hospital affiliate, who has reasonable cause to believe that any patient with whom he or she has direct contact has been subjected to abuse in the hospital or hospital affiliate shall promptly report or cause a report to be made to a designated hospital administrator responsible for providing such reports to the Department as required by this Section.
(c) Retaliation against a person who lawfully and in good faith makes a report under this Section is prohibited.
(d) Upon receiving a report under subsection (b) of this HB0587 Engrossed - 2 - LRB103 04172 CPF 49178 b Section, the hospital or hospital affiliate shall submit the report to the Department within 24 hours of obtaining such report.
In the event that the hospital receives multiple reports involving a single alleged instance of abuse, the hospital shall submit one report to the Department.
(e) Upon receiving a report under this Section, the hospital or hospital affiliate shall promptly conduct an internal review to ensure the alleged victim's safety.
Measures to protect the alleged victim shall be taken as deemed necessary by the hospital's administrator and may include, but are not limited to, removing suspected violators from further patient contact during the hospital's or hospital affiliate's internal review.
If the alleged victim lacks decision-making capacity under the Health Care Surrogate Act and no health care surrogate is available, the hospital or hospital affiliate may contact the Illinois Guardianship and Advocacy Commission to determine the need for a temporary guardian of that person.
(f) All internal hospital and hospital affiliate reviews shall be conducted by a designated hospital employee or agent who is qualified to detect abuse and is not involved in the alleged victim's treatment.
All internal review findings must be documented and filed according to hospital or hospital affiliate procedures and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
(g) Any other person may make a report of patient abuse to HB0587 Engrossed - 3 - LRB103 04172 CPF 49178 b the Department if that person has reasonable cause to believe that a patient has been abused in the hospital or hospital affiliate.
(h) The report required under this Section shall include:
the name of the patient;
the name and address of the hospital or hospital affiliate treating the patient;
the age of the patient;
the nature of the patient's condition, including any evidence of previous injuries or disabilities;
and any other information that the reporter believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of the reported abuse and the identity of the person believed to have caused the abuse.
(i) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, any individual, person, institution, or agency participating in good faith in the making of a report under this Section, or in the investigation of such a report or in making a disclosure of information concerning reports of abuse under this Section, shall have immunity from any liability, whether civil, professional, or criminal, that otherwise might result by reason of such actions.
For the purpose of any proceedings, whether civil, professional, or criminal, the good faith of any persons required to report cases of suspected abuse under this Section or who disclose information concerning reports of abuse in compliance with this Section, shall be presumed.
(j) No administrator, agent, or employee of a hospital or hospital affiliate shall adopt or employ practices or procedures designed to discourage good faith reporting of HB0587 Engrossed - 4 - LRB103 04172 CPF 49178 b patient abuse under this Section.
(k) Every hospital and hospital affiliate shall ensure that all new and existing employees are trained in the detection and reporting of abuse of patients and retrained at least every 2 years thereafter.
(l) The Department shall investigate each report of patient abuse made under this Section according to the procedures of the Department, except that a report of abuse which indicates that a patient's life or safety is in imminent danger shall be investigated within 24 hours of such report.
Under no circumstances may a hospital's or hospital affiliate's internal review of an allegation of abuse replace an investigation of the allegation by the Department.
(m) The Department shall keep a continuing record of all reports made pursuant to this Section, including indications of the final determination of any investigation and the final disposition of all reports.
The Department shall inform the investigated hospital or hospital affiliate and any other person making a report under subsection (g) of its final determination or disposition in writing.
(n) The Department shall not disclose to the public any information regarding any reports and investigations under this Section unless and until the report of abuse is substantiated following a full and proper investigation.
(o) All patient identifiable information in any report or investigation under this Section shall be confidential and HB0587 Engrossed - 5 - LRB103 04172 CPF 49178 b shall not be disclosed except as authorized by this Act or other applicable law.
(p) Nothing in this Section relieves a hospital or hospital affiliate administrator, employee, agent, or medical staff member from contacting appropriate law enforcement authorities as required by law.
(q) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to mean that a patient is a victim of abuse because of health care services provided or not provided by health care professionals.
(r) Nothing in this Section shall require a hospital or hospital affiliate, including its employees, agents, and medical staff members, to provide any services to a patient in contravention of his or her stated or implied objection thereto upon grounds that such services conflict with his or her religious beliefs or practices, nor shall such a patient be considered abused under this Section for the exercise of such beliefs or practices.
(s) The Department's implementation of this Section is subject to appropriations to the Department for that purpose.
