210 ILCS 3/36: Use of name; patient transfers; consulting committee.

No facility or person shall hold itself out to the public as a "recovery care center" or "postsurgical recovery care center" unless it is licensed as a postsurgical recovery care center under this Act.

The Department shall establish by rule criteria for patient transfers to postsurgical recovery care models. Each facility licensed as a postsurgical recovery care center shall establish a qualified consulting committee to review the types of surgical procedures performed in ambulatory surgical treatment centers and hospitals which intend to transfer patients to the recovery care center. The committee shall recommend appropriate procedures for approval by the Department of Public Health. Action on these recommendations by the Department shall not be unreasonably withheld.
