An Act to increase the safety of individuals with disabilities relying on life-support equipment

This bill aims to improve the safety of people with disabilities who depend on life-support equipment by updating hospital discharge procedures. It requires hospitals to provide detailed information about necessary medical technology and maintenance instructions to nurses at the patient's home or residential facility before release. Additionally, the law mandates that these nurses review the discharge plan with specific attention to life-support requirements and sign a document confirming their understanding. The Department of Public Health is tasked with creating guidelines and running awareness campaigns to help families and medical facilities comply with these new rules.
