Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As enacted, makes revisions to law relative to rural hospital-based laboratories. - Amends TCA Title 68.

This law updates regulations for medical laboratories located within hospitals in Tennessee, specifically addressing how they are licensed and supervised. It creates a new role called a hospital-based laboratory supervisor, defining the education and training required for this position. The bill allows these supervisors to oversee up to four separate laboratories if they are in rural hospitals, whereas they can only manage one laboratory in other settings. Additionally, the law permits a single hospital-based laboratory to operate from multiple locations without needing a separate license for each site, provided those sites hold valid federal or state accreditation. These changes aim to streamline oversight while ensuring quality control in medical testing environments.
