Summary

Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to administer the licensing of several categories of clinics and health facilities, including general acute care hospitals. Existing law requires the building standards published in the California Building Standards Code and the regulations adopted by the department to prescribe standards for adequacy, safety, and sanitation of the physical plant, of appropriate staffing, and of services, based on the type of health facility and the needs of the persons served. The bill would require the department to establish the Acuity-Adaptable Care Delivery Pilot Program to provide not less than one but not more than 5 general acute care hospitals, as defined, with the ability to use licensed intensive care beds as stepdown and medical surgical beds interchangeably, based on the acuity of the patient, as provided. The bill would require the participating hospitals to measure specified outcomes and to undergo an annual review of the outcomes, including an onsite inspection by the department and independent evaluations. The bill also would require the department, by January 1, 2015, to prepare and submit a report to the Legislature on the pilot program. The bill would allow the department to charge a participating hospital an annual fee that does not exceed the amount of the direct costs to the department of overseeing and evaluating the pilot program and does not exceed $25,000 per year. The bill would make the program inoperative 7 years after the first patient is admitted to the first pilot program hospital and would repeal the program on January 1 of the following year.
