An Act making technical changes to the Betsy Lehman Center for patient safety and medical error reduction enabling statute

This bill makes technical corrections to the Massachusetts law that created the Betsy Lehman Center for patient safety and medical error reduction. Specifically, it updates the definitions of key terms used in the statute, such as "adverse event" and "medical error," to ensure clarity and consistency. The legislation also clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the center's governing board and its advisory committee, which provides non-binding guidance to the center's director. By refining these legal definitions and structural details, the bill aims to improve how the center coordinates efforts to reduce medical mistakes and enhance patient safety across state healthcare agencies.
