Bill > S02400

This bill directs the commissioner of health to establish a blood clot and pulmonary embolism policy workgroup composed of healthcare providers, patients, family members, advocates, and other interested parties. The workgroup, with members appointed by the governor, senate president, assembly speaker, and commissioner, will be tasked with studying and developing recommendations related to blood clots and pulmonary embolisms in New York State. Their specific duties include identifying the number of annual cases, analyzing data collection methods, understanding the impact on patients' lives, examining care standards, exploring emerging treatments, and developing policy recommendations to improve patient awareness and risk surveillance. The workgroup will create a detailed report within one year, which will be submitted to key state leaders and published on the department's website. Members will not be compensated but may receive reimbursement for expenses. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law and will automatically expire two years and 90 days after enactment.
