HF 54: Relating to the inpatient psychiatric bed tracking system

What it does

This bill relates to the inpatient psychiatric bed tracking system. The bill directs the department of human services to amend its administrative rules to require a hospital that has inpatient psychiatric beds to update the inpatient psychiatric bed tracking system to indicate when an inpatient psychiatric bed becomes available within hours of the bed becoming available. For each bed that becomes available, the updates to the psychiatric bed tracking system must indicate the following: if the bed is available for a child or an adult including a geriatric adult; if the bed is available for a person with a co-occurring mental illness and substance-related disorder; if the bed is available for a person currently under the influence of drugs or alcohol; if the bed is available for a person who is currently exhibiting aggressive behavior toward the person’s self or others; and if the bed is available to men, women, or both.
