A second hearing on the proposed rule “Perinatal Hospital and Birthing Center Levels of Care” is set for 10 am on Thursday, May 9, at the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH).
Senate Enrolled Act 360, signed into law last year by Gov. Eric Holcomb, required ISDH to establish a program to certify perinatal levels of care designations for licensed hospitals and birthing centers and to specify requirements that must be met in order to operate as a perinatal center. The proposed rule details that program and its administration.
The latest version of the rule takes into account public comments from the first hearing in February. Comments on the updated rule must be submitted by May 9 to
rulepubliccomments@isdh.in.gov.
