Summary

Existing law provides for the licensure of health facilities, including general acute care hospitals, by the State Department of Public Health. The violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would require each general acute care hospital with an emergency department to adopt a protocol or policy establishing a procedure for assessing patients in the emergency room who are comatose after experiencing cardiac arrest to determine whether to treat these patients with chilling or therapeutic hypothermia. The bill would also impose additional requirements upon the hospital if it undertakes this treatment. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
