1. CA SB 1152
Weather Appropriate Clothing at Discharge

2. CA SB 1152 Overview What does the new legislation say?
The new law institutes a more formalized discharge process for homeless patients involving increased documentation. There are many stipulations in the law about discharging homeless patients
Who is affected?
General acute care hospitals
Acute psychiatric hospitals
Special hospitals licensed by the California Department of Public Health
May indirectly affect behavioral health or other health care facilities that accept homeless patients discharged from a hospital
When does this go into effect?
Effective January 1, 2019, hospitals had to modify their current discharge policies by including a written homeless discharge planning policy and procedure.
This discharge plan needs to help patients identify a post-discharge destination.
Hospitals also are required to document and perform a checklist including offering a meal, screening for infectious disease and offering weather-appropriate clothing and transportation.
Effective July 1, 2019, hospitals must have a written plan for coordinating services and referrals for homeless patients with the county behavioral health agency and health ad social service agencies. Each hospital is required to maintain a log of the homeless patients discharged and their post-discharge destinations.

3. CA SB 1152 Weather Appropriate Clothing
