Bill > SB1367

This bill adds a new requirement to Missouri state law (specifically Chapter 197 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, or RSMo) mandating that any hospital with an emergency department must have at least one physician physically present and on duty who is specifically responsible for managing the emergency department during all hours that the emergency department is operational. This provision aims to ensure that there is always a physician directly responsible for overseeing emergency medical care, which could potentially improve patient safety and response times in emergency medical situations by guaranteeing physician supervision at all times the emergency department is open to patients.
