More detail
State health officials must set electronic reporting requirements for recognized stroke centers. The reporting requirements cover state-recognized stroke centers and use new or existing electronic reporting tools. Hospitals must submit data in a format used statewide. State officials cannot dictate how hospitals keep their internal records. Officials may publish comparisons using reliable methods and privacy safeguards. Hospitals have 30 days before publication to correct information or add explanations. The law takes effect January 1, 2027.
State health officials must consult the State Stroke Advisory Subcommittee when choosing which hospital stroke care levels to recognize. These provisions cover hospital stroke care levels recognized by Illinois health officials. Recognized care levels must match those recognized by state-approved organizations that certify hospitals. Officials must also consult the advisory group about how hospitals gain, renew, or lose state recognition. The law takes effect January 1, 2027.
State health officials must consider the stroke advisory group's recommendations and give written notice of recommendations they do not take. These provisions cover recommendations from the State Stroke Advisory Subcommittee about state stroke care rules. The advisory group has 90 days to review proposed stroke care rules, except emergency rules. Officials must retain written notices under their recordkeeping policies. The review period starts before proposed rules are published, when officials submit them to the advisory group.
