HB 1391 Congenital Anomalies Reporting and Education System; secure system to be provided.
Introduced by: Clarke N. Hogan | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Congenital Anomalies Reporting and Education System. Requires the Commissioner of the Department of Health to provide for a secure system that protects the confidentiality of data and information for which reporting is required to implement the Virginia Congenital Anomalies Reporting and Education System (VaCARES). The system may include online data entry and a minimum data set is specified, including names, gender, diagnosis, etc. The bill deletes current reporting requirements concerning the parent's service in Vietnam and possible exposure to Agent Orange and certain outdated language relating to the Board's regulations. Hospitals, the only facilities required to report birth defects to VaCARES, are authorized to view personally identifiable information in the system "as approved by the Commissioner and upon receipt by the Commissioner of sworn affirmation from each such person that the confidentiality of the information will be preserved." This bill is identical to SB 428 (Lambert).
