Texas SB672 requires hospitals to submit a summary of their emergency department diversion plans to the Health and Human Services Commission.
Texas SB672 mandates that hospitals with emergency departments submit a summary of their emergency department diversion plans to the Health and Human Services Commission. A "diversion plan" is a process for temporarily routing patients needing emergency services to other hospitals or health facilities when the hospital's capacity is significantly diminished, such as during a cyber attack or power outage. The summary must be updated and resubmitted within 30 days of any changes to the plan. These summaries are confidential and exempt from public disclosure.
