Regulate Observation Units
SB 1076 (Hernandez)

Observation Units (OUs) are areas of hospitals that are not subject to the same staffing, safety, or billing protections as the rest of the hospitals. This bill regulates the use of OUs by hospital and requires nurse staffing ratios, notice to patients when they are in an OU, and clearly designated areas.
