DAR File No.: 35490
Filed: 11/30/2011 12:05:58 PMNOTICE 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 is authorized by Subsection 26-33a-104(3), which requires "the committee may adopt rules to carry out the provisions of this chapter" for data collection, analysis, and dissemination.
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 comment has been received since the last review of the rule. The Health Data Committee at its meeting on 11/08/2011 has reviewed the rule and requested its continuation.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule establishes the reporting standards and procedures for all-payer inpatient discharge data submitted by licensed hospitals in the state of Utah. Continuation of the rule will assure that the state of Utah continuously carries out its activities in developing and using the statewide inpatient discharge database to improve health care cost, quality, and access. There is widespread use of nearly 20 years of data within many programs at the health department for planning and reports on hospitalization trends. Also public use data files have been purchased by many individuals in the healthcare industry, researchers and the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
