The committee reviewed operational reports for the emergency call center, including call volume trends and the status of the "My Child Ate" web project, noting that performance was hindered by outdated infrastructure and funding constraints. Discussions encompassed historical public outreach metrics, national poison center utilization data in Illinois, and a detailed review of the 2014-2016 budget, which highlighted significant financial losses. The committee also addressed the opioid epidemic, focusing on the integration of hospital electronic medical records, prescribing guidelines, naloxone dispensing regulations, and the progress of legislative rule rewrites regarding accreditation criteria.
