Summary
The amendment makes one technical change explained in summary below; clarifies Version 2.1 of Utah Healthcare Facility Data Submission Guide should be used by all facility submitters for data submissions going forward. All facilities that generate emergency department encounters shall submit all data--ambulatory surgery, inpatient, and emergency department encounter data--following the monthly schedule outlined in this rule. In sum, each monthly submission of emergency department data will contain two months of data: a new month and an old month. The new month will be the first submission of that month's data. For this data, the facility will have had 15 days to clean-up and submit the data. The old month will be a resubmission of the prior month's data. The old data will have had 45-days for clean-up and submission. This should ensure that the final monthly data are consistent with the quarterly processing data.
