In 2003, Schaaf sponsored the Infection Control Act which led to a reduction in deadly hospital infections by putting hospital infection information on a publicly available database. Schaaf passed a House resolution and raised the funds for a granite plaque, displayed in the House chamber with the Preamble to Missouri Constitution, that mentions the name of God. Schaaf handled the Medicaid reform legislation that changed the name of Missouri Medicaid to "MoHealthNet" and added dental and optometric coverage for Medicaid recipients. In the Senate, Schaaf sponsored Amendment 3, approved by the voters, adding "electronic communications and data" to the list of protected items under the 4th Amendment. As a result, Missouri Law Enforcement cannot access a person's phone or computer without a warrant based upon probable cause as with other protected papers and effects. For 15 years, Schaaf opposed, often filibustered and defeated bills that would have created a statewide
prescription drug monitoring program, which would have put patients' private medical information regarding controlled substances on a government database accessible by over 30,000 people. Schaaf offered several alternative bills that would have created the PDMP with protections of private identifying information, but those bills were all defeated. After Schaaf was term-limited, 2 years later, Missouri passed the prescription monitoring program sponsored by Senator Holly Rehder, whose daughter became addicted after using prescription drugs. After being in the legislature, Schaaf worked as a physician in the Missouri Department of Corrections caring for inmates. ==References==
