Bill > A06682

This bill requires the New York State Department of Health to prepare a comprehensive report on health facility inspections, which must be delivered to the governor and legislative conference leaders within 180 days of the act's effective date. The report must include detailed information about diagnostic and treatment centers, specifically covering the total number of such centers licensed by the department (defined as centers regulated under Parts 755 and 756 of Title 10 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations), as well as the number of other facilities that can legally perform medical procedures and surgeries. The report must also document the most recent inspection dates for each diagnostic and treatment center not accredited by the Joint Commission (an independent, non-profit organization that evaluates healthcare organizations), and for other clinics and facilities capable of performing medical procedures that are not accredited by the Joint Commission. By mandating this report, the bill aims to provide transparency and oversight of health facility inspections in New York State, ensuring that both the government and public are informed about the status and regulatory compliance of medical facilities.
