Pennsylvania SB1440 mandates ambulances to display a QR code for laryngectomy patient care information.
Pennsylvania SB1440 amends Title 35 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to require ambulances and QRS vehicles to display a QR code in the patient care area. This code links to a digital resource approved by the department, providing emergency airway management protocols and visual guides for identifying stomas and contraindicated procedures for laryngectomy patients. It also includes contact information for regional medical control or laryngectomy support services. EMS agencies must ensure the QR code is functional, up to date, and accessible without login credentials.
