Relating to authorizing the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule relating to fatality and mortality review team
HB 2241 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Health to implement specific rules for fatality and mortality review teams. These teams examine deaths (particularly those involving healthcare) to identify preventable causes and improve public safety. The bill specifically approves an existing proposed rule (64 CSR 29) filed in the State Register on September 3, 2024, which outlines procedures for these review teams. It directly affects the Department of Health and healthcare providers who participate in these reviews. The legislation focuses on procedural authorization, not new policy changes.
