The bill aims to enhance pediatric patient care in hospital emergency departments across Florida by amending several sections of the Florida Statutes. It mandates that hospitals with emergency departments develop and implement specific policies and procedures for pediatric care, including training for staff, recording weights in kilograms, and designating a pediatric emergency care coordinator. Additionally, hospitals are authorized to conduct the National Pediatric Readiness Project's Open Assessment in years when the main assessment is not performed. The bill also requires the agency to establish minimum standards for pediatric patient care in emergency departments and to collect and publish assessment results from hospitals.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the agency in relation to comprehensive emergency management plans, ensuring they include provisions for pediatric and neonatal patients. It specifies that the agency must collect and publish assessment scores from the National Pediatric Readiness Assessments and provide comparisons to national averages. The effective date for the implementation of this act is set for July 1, 2025.
