Date:7/21/2009

graduating more registered nurses to effectively address the state's nursing shortage;
  • Funding was increased for community mental health crisis services and the statewide trauma system;
  • Consumers will have access to more information, as hospitals will be required to report certain adverse events and the cause of certain infections; and
  • The state's Medicaid program was given the financial resources to support increases in caseload and utilization for 2010-11 thanks to legislators' decision to use federal stimulus funds.

    • "These are landmark successes for Texas' health care system, and the legislators who pressed for these policies deserve special recognition," said Stultz.
