Summary
Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of health facilities, including general acute care hospitals, by the State Department of Public Health. Existing law authorizes a general acute care hospital to be approved to offer special services, including, among others, cardiac surgery. Existing regulation requires, when a general acute care hospital is providing cardiovascular operative service, that a minimum of 3 surgeons constitute a surgical team if the procedure requires extracorporeal bypass.
This bill would require the department, on or before January 1, 2029, to update that regulation to reflect current professional standards of care relating to extracorporeal bypass surgery.
