FL S0634

Repeals section 383.336 of Florida Statutes, which established practice parameters for physicians performing Caesarean section deliveries in provider hospitals.

Requires hospitals to notify all obstetrical physicians with hospital privileges at least 120 days before closing an obstetrical department or ceasing obstetrical services.

Amends notification requirements for adverse incidents to clarify that such notifications do not constitute an acknowledgment of liability and may not be introduced as evidence.

Takes effect July 1, 2015.
