Expands the definition of temporary health care services agency to include digital health care service platforms.

This bill amends the public health law to redefine "temporary health care services agency" to include entities utilizing apps or other technology-based solutions to provide or procure temporary employment of health care personnel. It excludes individuals providing their own services on a temporary basis and home care agencies. The bill also mandates documentation of minimum licensing, training, and continuing education standards for health care personnel and requires agencies to submit contracts to the department within five business days.
