The state Board of Regents meetings approved the bylaw changes proposed by the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics at its meeting Thursday.

The UIHC officials requested a task force to review the subcommittees of the University Hospital Advisory Committee.

The task force also recommended the elimination of the subcommittee of scientific and moral aspects in concern to death, due to the responsibilities being absorbed into the Neurology Department, and that the regents create a new compliance subcommittee.

The new subcommittee will “provide oversight and guidance for the regulatory audit and compliance activities of UIHC.”
