AN ACT ESTABLISHING A DATABASE AND HOTLINE FOR THE REPORTING OF CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS OR VIOLENT INCIDENTS OF PATIENTS OF HOME HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
HB 6585 requires the creation of a database containing criminal history records and reports of violent incidents involving patients receiving home health or hospice care. This database will be accessible to home health care workers, and a hotline/website will allow reporting of violent incidents that didn't result in arrest. The bill directly affects home health care workers and agencies by providing them with patient safety information previously unavailable. Its key provision is making this information accessible to workers to help them assess risks before providing care.
