SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Information on nosocomial infections. Requires the Board of Health to develop a procedure whereby aggregate information on each hospital's incidence of nosocomial infections, without patient identifiers, may be released to the public, upon request; filed in the hospital's licensure records within the Department of Health; and transmitted to the Division of Consumer Counsel and the Administrator of Consumer Affairs for use in determining any necessary actions to protect the interests of Virginia's consumers. Nosocomial infections are acquired in a hospital or other health care setting. The Board of Health is required to promulgate emergency regulations to implement this provision.
