SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Health care data reporting. Expands the patient-level data reported to the Board of Health and analyzed by the nonprofit health data organization to include all outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia in hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and doctors' offices, when performed by physicians of medicine or osteopathy. This provision becomes effective on July 1, 2001, except for an enactment that requires the nonprofit health data organization to review the impact of requiring the submission of outpatient surgical data by physicians and the impact of current inpatient reporting requirements on hospitals. The review will be conducted in consultation with the various affected parties and will include such items as an estimate of the number and type of oupatient surgical records to be submitted, plans for processing the outpatient surgical data, and estimates of resources needed to process and anlyze the data and publish any appropriate reports. This information will be included in the organization's annual report and also in a report to the Joint Commission on Health Care by October 1, 2000, and to the General Assembly prior to the 2001 Session.
