Patient Safety Bill Signed by Governor Brown

(Sacramento) – Legislation to enhance patient safety, authored by Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson (D-Carson), was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown today. Assembly Bill (AB) 444 helps the state adopt a standardization of medical epidural and enteral connectors as part of an international initiative.

“When patients receive care, they often require connection to various hospital devices. Current standards for medical connectors can lead to device misconnection, where devices that have compatible connectors are accidentally connected to the wrong device and can lead to serious medical complications,” states Gipson. “AB 444 would help effectively implement the adoption of new standards in line with the statutory deadline already in place.”
