Both sets of regulations will be submitted to the New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council (PHHPC) for consideration on February 7, 2013, and will be published in the State Register for a 45-day public comment period. Following that review and approval by PHHPC, it is anticipated the regulations will take effect in May, 2013. Under the sepsis regulations, hospitals must submit protocols to the State Health Department for review before July 1, 2013 and will be required to implement the protocols no later than 45 days following Department approval. The full text of the regulations will be available today on the Department of Health's website.
