Health Care Patient Protection

Summary

The bill mandates that every hospital emergency department in Florida create and follow evidence‑based pediatric care policies, conduct annual training and drills, and appoint a qualified pediatric emergency care coordinator. It also requires hospitals to complete the National Pediatric Readiness Assessment (or an optional Open Assessment) and obliges the state agency to set minimum pediatric standards, collect the results and publish them publicly. These steps aim to improve safety and consistency of care for children in emergencies.
