Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Senate Bill 5557 introduces a new focus on "aftercare," which is defined as the assistance provided by caregivers after a patient is discharged from a hospital. This change clarifies that aftercare includes help with daily activities and medical tasks but is limited to conditions present at discharge, excluding assistance for new issues that were not treated in the hospital. Additionally, the bill includes a reaffirmation of reproductive health care rights in Washington, emphasizing the need for state-level protections for pregnant patients amidst changing federal regulations. This is important because it aims to ensure that all patients receive comprehensive care and support during a vulnerable time.

NEW SECTION.
The legislature finds that access to reproductive health care is a long-established right in Washington state.
RCW 70.41.020 and 2021 c 157 s 3 and 2021 c 61 s 1 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
The people of Washington have repeatedly affirmed this right, and it is the legislature's responsibility to ensure that our residents have access to care that puts patients first regardless of federal actions.
Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the following terms, whenever used in this chapter, shall be deemed to have the following meanings:
Pregnant patients have been able to rely on federal protections when they seek emergency medical care, but due to renewed uncertainty at the federal level, the legislature must provide these rights in state law so that pregnant patients in Washington state have the strongest protections when seeking care.
(1) "Aftercare" means the assistance provided by a lay caregiver to a patient under this chapter after the patient's discharge from a hospital.
The legislature finds the existing state law, including chapter 70.400 RCW, along with current federal laws ensure that both physicians and hospitals have a shared responsibility to deliver the highest quality of care p.
The assistance may include, but is not limited to, assistance with activities of daily living, wound care, medication assistance, and the operation of medical equipment.
1 ESSB 5557 to pregnant patients to guarantee their legal access to all medically appropriate options.
"Aftercare" includes assistance only for conditions that were present at the time of the patient's discharge from the hospital.
"Aftercare" does not include:

(b) "Audio-only telemedicine" does not include:
(i) The use of facsimile or email;
or (ii) The delivery of health care services that are customarily delivered by audio-only technology and customarily not billed as separate services by the provider, such as the sharing of laboratory results.
(3) "Department" means the Washington state department of health.
(4) "Discharge" means a patient's release from a hospital following the patient's admission to the hospital.
(5) "Distant site" means the site at which a physician or other licensed provider, delivering a professional service, is physically located at the time the service is provided through telemedicine.
(6) "Emergency care to victims of sexual assault" means medical examinations, procedures, and services provided by a hospital emergency room to a victim of sexual assault following an alleged sexual assault.
(7) "Emergency contraception" means any health care treatment approved by the food and drug administration that prevents pregnancy, including but not limited to administering two increased doses of certain oral contraceptive pills within seventy-two hours of sexual contact.
(8) "Emergency medical condition" means:
(a) A condition of such severity that the absence of immediate medical attention could result in:
(i) Placing the health of an individual (or, with respect to a pregnant person, the health of the pregnant person or their embryo or fetus) in serious jeopardy;
(ii) serious impairment to bodily functions;
or (iii) serious dysfunction of a bodily organ or part;
or (b) With respect to a pregnant person who is having contractions:
(i) That there is inadequate time to affect a safe transfer to p.
2 SB 5557 another hospital before delivery;
or (ii) that transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety of the pregnant person or their embryo or fetus.
(9) "Hospital" means any institution, place, building, or agency which provides accommodations, facilities and services over a continuous period of twenty-four hours or more, for observation, diagnosis, or care, of two or more individuals not related to the operator who are suffering from illness, injury, deformity, or abnormality, or from any other condition for which obstetrical, medical, or surgical services would be appropriate for care or diagnosis.
"Hospital" as used in this chapter does not include hotels, or similar places furnishing only food and lodging, or simply domiciliary care;
nor does it include clinics, or physician's offices where patients are not regularly kept as bed patients for twenty-four hours or more;
nor does it include nursing homes, as defined and which come within the scope of chapter 18.51 RCW;
nor does it include birthing centers, which come within the scope of chapter 18.46 RCW;
nor does it include ((psychiatric)) behavioral health hospitals, which come within the scope of chapter 71.12 RCW;
nor any other hospital, or institution specifically intended for use in the diagnosis and care of those suffering from mental illness, intellectual disability, convulsive disorders, or other abnormal mental condition.
Furthermore, nothing in this chapter or the rules adopted pursuant thereto shall be construed as authorizing the supervision, regulation, or control of the remedial care or treatment of residents or patients in any hospital conducted for those who rely primarily upon treatment by prayer or spiritual means in accordance with the creed or tenets of any well recognized church or religious denominations.
