Bill > HB1372

This bill requires the Maryland Health Care Commission, in partnership with the Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) within the Maryland Department of Health, to create a system for receiving and publishing inspection information on the Commission's Maryland Quality Reporting website, including the date of the most recent inspection, any associated quality ratings, the next scheduled inspection date, and a statement if a facility hasn't been inspected as required. Additionally, it establishes the Maryland Department of Health Centralization Commission, comprised of legislative members, the Secretary of Health, deputy secretaries, and executive directors of various health occupations boards, to advise the General Assembly on improving the relationship between the Department and these boards for greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability. This new commission will also provide recommendations on centralizing licensure systems, consolidating administrative functions, and increasing public awareness of the Maryland Quality Reporting website.
