Modifies provisions relating to tort actions based on improper health care

HB 1184 defines key terms used in medical malpractice lawsuits involving improper health care. It clarifies specific concepts like "catastrophic personal injury" (e.g., permanent loss of limb function or cognitive impairment), "economic damages" (medical costs and lost wages), and "health care provider" (including hospitals, nurses, and clinics). This procedural bill establishes consistent definitions for courts to apply in such cases, without altering legal standards or outcomes.
