Bill > S01885

This bill establishes hospital-sponsored off-campus emergency departments as a type of "hospital" under New York law. It sets out specific standards for the operations, staffing, and capacity requirements of these off-campus emergency departments, including that they must generally operate 24/7, though part-time operation of at least 12 hours per day may be allowed in certain circumstances. The bill also requires these off-campus emergency departments to meet the same standards as hospital-based emergency departments regarding provider training, services, and the ability to stabilize and treat all patients regardless of their ability to pay.
