Health Care - As introduced, permits a healthcare organization's quality improvement committee to evaluate the security measures in place at a healthcare organization to ensure the safety of patients and staff. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 38; Title 62 and Title 68.
SB 2406 allows healthcare organizations' quality improvement committees to evaluate existing security measures at their facilities.
