FL S0890

Officially cited as the "Emily Adkins Family Protection Act," requiring hospitals with emergency departments and ambulatory surgical centers to develop evidence-based policies for assessing and treating patients at risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and to train nonphysician clinical personnel on those policies at least annually

Directs the Department of Health to contract at no cost to the state with a qualifying nonprofit entity (in existence at least 15 years with a VTE-focused mission and a registry of at least 25,000 participants) to establish and maintain a statewide venous thromboembolism registry

Beginning July 1, 2026, hospitals with emergency departments must regularly report VTE data to the registry, including diagnoses, patient demographics, fatality status, diagnostic methods, and recommended treatments; the Agency for Health Care Administration must submit a detailed VTE incidence report to the Governor and Legislature by June 1, 2026

Adds VTE signs, symptoms, and emergency response training to the annual inservice education requirements for certified nursing assistants employed by nursing home facilities and to the 34-hour delegated-tasks training course approved by the Board of Nursing

Requires assisted living facilities to provide a consumer information pamphlet to residents upon admission containing information about VTE risk factors and how to recognize signs and symptoms of the condition
