Safety Standards Workgroup re: SB1108
Senate Bill 1108 of 2014 requires the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene to convene a stakeholder workgroup to study appropriate national safety standards for mixing, reconstituting, and other similar acts routinely performed by, or under the supervision of, an oncologist, a rheumatologist, or a hematologist who administers chemotherapy, biologic therapy, supportive care medication, rheumatology therapy, or any other therapy in the treatment of cancer, a rheumatology condition, or a blood condition.
On or before December 15, 2014, the Department is required to report the recommendations of the workgroup to the Governor, the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee, and the House Health and Governmental Operations Committee.
The Department would like to invite members of the public to attend the meetings. Individuals interested in receiving updates should contact the Department at: dhmh.SafetyStandardreSB1108@maryland.gov.
