Regards hospital-wide nursing care comm., nursing staffing plans

Summary

The bill forces every Ohio hospital to form a hospital‑wide nursing care committee within 90 days of opening or the law’s effective date. The committee, made up mostly of bedside registered nurses, must develop a two‑year staffing plan that sets minimum nurse‑to‑patient ratios for each inpatient unit. Hospitals must adopt the plan and can only change it under limited circumstances.
