Filed as: South Dakota Department of Health - Office of Licensure & Certification
The Department of Health is eliminating duplicate rules about emergency controlled drug supplies in long-term care facilities, since the Board of Pharmacy already regulates these supplies, and is streamlining hospital charge-reporting requirements by removing outdated definitions and simplifying the reporting timeline from quarterly to semi-annual (January–June data due October 1, and July–December data due April 1). The department is also correcting a technical error to require health care facilities to report attempted suicides directly to the Department of Health within 24 hours, in addition to their existing duty to report abuse and neglect to the Department of Human Services or law enforcement. These changes clean up conflicting or unnecessary regulations while ensuring that attempted suicides in hospitals, nursing facilities, and other health care settings are properly tracked by state health officials.
