Urging statewide efforts to promote C-peptide testing education and training initiatives among critical care and emergency healthcare providers in Memory of Michael Brandon Cochran

This House Resolution (HR 13) urges West Virginia healthcare systems to promote education and training about C-peptide testing for critical care and emergency room providers. It specifically aims to help clinicians distinguish between naturally occurring insulin and externally administered insulin in unexplained hypoglycemia cases, which could improve diagnosis accuracy and patient safety. The resolution supports exploring no-cost funding options - like public-private partnerships or grants - to expand access to this testing without imposing mandates. It directly affects emergency and critical care healthcare providers by encouraging voluntary adoption of this diagnostic tool, though it does not create new legal requirements.
