- Hospital Staffing
-
In 2023, the legislature passed E2SSB 5236 (PDF) regarding hospital staffing, which amends chapters 70.41, 43.70, 49.12 and 49.28 RCW, requiring hospitals to submit their hospital staffing plans to the department beginning January 1, 2025, and on an annual basis thereafter. Hospitals must also submit any hospital staffing plans that are updated throughout the year. The department interprets “annual basis” as twelve months from the last submitted plan. The department must post the hospital staffing plans it has received in the table below. By posting these hospital staffing plans, the department makes no statement as to the content of these plans.
The change to RCW 70.41.420 requiring acute care hospitals to submit their hospital staffing plans does not include private psychiatric and alcoholism hospitals (WAC 246-322), and private alcohol and chemical dependency hospitals (WAC 246-324).
