DAR File No.: 40761

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule exists under the Utah Public Health Authority to protect Utah citizens from adverse events, to facilitate quality improvement and to provide public transparency using hospital discharge data for adverse event and adverse drug event trends under Subsections 26-1-30(2)(a), 26-1-30(2)(b), 26-1-30(2)(d), 26-1-30(2)(e), and 26-1-30(2)(g), and Section 26-3-8.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received to date.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Hospital discharge data as one of the data sources for analyzing patient safety events is necessary since the All Payer Claims Database (APCD) does not have all outpatient claims. The agency is working toward including the APCD data sources for more robust analysis of patient safety events particularly in the area of adverse drug events. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
