health and human services
Health
Under current law, DHFS must collect, analyze, and disseminate health care information from health care providers other than hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers; in addition, DOA must contract with an entity to collect, analyze, and disseminate health care information from hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Both DHFS and the entity under contract with DOA must, from the data collected, prepare certain reports that do not permit the identification of a patient, an employer, or a health care provider. The Board on Health Care Information, attached to DHFS, must advise DHFS on the collection, analysis, and dissemination of health care information; provide oversight on the reports issued by DHFS and the entity under contract with DOA; and develop overall strategy and direction for health care information collection activities. Activities of the Board on Health Care Information and DHFS are funded from fees for performance of certain work under contract and from assessments that are annually levied on health care providers other than hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
This bill eliminates the Board on Health Care Information as of October 1, 2005, and replaces it on that date with a nine-member Health Care Quality and Patient Safety Board (HCQPSB), attached to DOA, which assumes the duties and powers of the Board on Health Care Information. In addition, the HCQPSB must do all of the following:
1. By March 1, 2006, study and make recommendations concerning the feasibility of creating a centralized physician information database.
