From NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, July 8, 2015

TRENTON — A year after state Health Commissioner Mary O’Dowd proposed a battery of changes that would require hospitals to disclose financial information to the public, she has not taken any steps to implement her proposals.

O’Dowd last July announced a proposal that would require for-profit and nonprofit hospitals to publish their quarterly unaudited financial statements on their websites and disclose contracts with parent companies and subsidiaries. These and other proposals were a compromise with the legislature, which had passed a disclosure bill that Gov. Chris Christie vetoed….

O’Dowd’s report did not specify when the disclosure requirements would take effect. A year later, however, none of the changes has been adopted.
