§2021. Health care information
A. The legislature hereby finds that the nonemergent utilization rate of emergency departments in the state of Louisiana is at an all-time high. The legislature further finds that one of the causes for such a high utilization rate is the lack of information available to the citizens of this state about alternative facilities to receive health care that are available in their communities such as outpatient clinics and after-hours programs.
B. The secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health shall distribute and make available information that will provide citizens of this state with information concerning the various health care facilities and providers available to provide nonemergent care. Such information shall be community- specific and distributed in each community in such a manner that the information will be available to the largest number of citizens.
