"Acuity-Adaptable" Rooms Legislation Fails

PPH designed its new hospital to operate on the basis of "acuity-adaptable" beds. (The Hospital of the Future - 168 Acuity Adaptable beds) However, the purportedly "evidence-based" design is not based on much of any real world evidence, and apparently is not a legal mode of operation in California. After completion of the design, and with significant construction under way on the new hospital, PPH has promoted legistration to allow its acuity-adaption mode of operation on an "experimental" basis. The legislation failed. So badly that the hoped for sponsor, Nate Fletcher, pulled the bill from consideration.
