Senate Bill 373 establishes the Margaret Joy Thomas Act and amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to require a hospital that commits a violation resulting in a potentially preventable adverse event to develop and implement a plan to address the deficiencies that may have contributed to the event. The bill requires DSHS to monitor the hospital's adherence to the plan and to enforce compliance.
