California health professionals need protection from surging workplace violence - ask your state senators to support #AB977 - creating parity in the penalties for violence against all health care workers within emergency departments. votervoice.net/mobile/CMADoc…

AB70 was signed into law this evening by Governor Newsom. This bill extends last year’s AB2260 law, placing more public access #StoptheBleed kits into new and renovated buildings, as with AEDs. Congratulations @AsmRodriguez53 @amyliepert @BurrussSigrid

The sad story of worsening violence against HCWs in California EDs and hospitals continues - meanwhile #CaLeg Assembly Public Safety committee refused to hear #AB977 that would make deliberate assaults more than a ‘standard misdemeanor’. enewspaper.latimes.com/infin…

33% of physicians report that #PriorAuthorization led to a serious adverse event for a patient in their care – with 9% reporting it's led to permanent bodily damage, disability or death. On July 11, #CaLeg has a chance to #FixPrior auth by passing #SB598! healthcarefinancenews.com/ne…

#PriorAuthorization causes unnecessary delays in diagnosing and treating diseases like cancer - where time is a critical factor. #SB598 by Sen @NancySkinnerCA will allow patients to receive the treatment they need, when they need it. On July 11, vote AYE on #SB598. #CaLeg

Delays and denials from #PriorAuthorization can cost patients time in the treatment and recovery process they just don't have. On July 11, #CaLeg Assembly Health will hear #SB598 by Senator @NancySkinnerCA to #FixPriorAuth. Physicians and patients ask you to vote AYE!

FYI: Dr Liepert wrote the core portion of #AB2260 - passed in California in 2022 - the first public access Stop the Bleed kit state law in the US. She then led the advocacy effort in California. That law is now the basis for three more 2023 #caleg bills...
