The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 487, aims to amend title 19a of the general statutes to tackle issues related to emergency department boarding and crowding. The bill seeks to establish quality criteria for emergency departments, implement public reporting mechanisms, and assess state-wide bed capacity. Additionally, it aims to address the most common causes of delays in inpatient discharges, thereby improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of emergency medical services.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to enhance the management of emergency department operations. By focusing on quality standards and transparency, the legislation intends to mitigate the challenges posed by overcrowding in emergency departments, ultimately leading to better patient care and resource allocation within the healthcare system.
