It allows certain health care provider and regulated professional boards to use electronic means for board meetings, gives the Indiana Department of Health the ability to collect information from home health aides and certified/qualified medication aides, and adds the Board of Physical Therapy and the Indiana Department of Health's Consumer Services and Health Care Regulation Commission to the list of boards required to provide workforce renewal information.
