Health Care - As introduced, permits a healthcare organization's quality improvement committee to evaluate the security measures in place at a healthcare organization to ensure the safety of patients and staff. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 38; Title 62 and Title 68.
HB 2415 permits healthcare organizations' quality improvement committees to assess existing security measures at their facilities, specifically to ensure patient and staff safety. This bill amends Tennessee law (TCA Sections 68-11-272, 8, 38, 62, and 68) to add this security evaluation duty to committees' existing responsibilities. The change directly affects healthcare facilities (like hospitals and clinics) by expanding their quality committees' authority to review security protocols. It does not create new security requirements but allows committees to proactively examine current measures.
