Establishes hospital-sponsored off campus emergency departments as hospitals with specific operational standards.
New York S05705 amends the public health law to classify hospital-sponsored off campus emergency departments as hospitals. It sets out specific standards for operations, staffing, and capacity requirements. These departments must generally operate 24/7 but may apply for part-time operation under certain conditions. They must meet the same standards as general hospital-based emergency departments regarding provider training, staffing, services, and capacity to stabilize and treat patients.
