Summary as Introduced

Amends the Hospital Licensing Act. Removes provisions requiring the Department on Aging to adopt rules to address instances when a case coordination unit is unable to complete an assessment in a hospital prior to the discharge of a patient 60 years or older to a nursing home to ensure that the patient is able to access nursing home care, the nursing home is not penalized for accepting the admission, and the patient's timely discharge from the hospital is not delayed, to the extent permitted under federal law or regulation.
