Modifies provisions relating to public health programs
HB 2670 requires hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, abortion facilities, and laboratories to report data on specific health care-associated infections - such as MRSA and VRE - to Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services. The data must include patient counts by facility type and will be used to track preventable infections and monitor antibiotic resistance trends, while maintaining patient confidentiality. The department must follow CDC guidelines and consider input from an infection control advisory panel when developing reporting systems and analyzing the data. This bill also aligns Missouri's requirements with federal data systems like the CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network to reduce duplicate reporting for facilities.
