HI SB 3246: RELATING TO HOSPITAL DISCHARGE DATA.

Score 38PRIMARYregulatoryState legislatureHI

Summary

Hawaii SB 3246 establishes a statewide system for collecting, auditing, and publicly releasing de-identified hospital discharge data, administered by the State Health Planning and Development Agency with support from a newly created Hospital Discharge Data Working Group. The bill appropriates funds and carries an effective date of July 1, 3000, indicating a placeholder for a future amendment. The bill has been reported out of the Health committee with an amendment and referred to the Consumer Protection and Commerce committee.

What this may mean

If enacted and given a real effective date, Hawaii hospitals would be subject to mandatory discharge data reporting to a state agency, with data subject to audit and public release in de-identified form. No federal reimbursement, billing, or fraud-and-abuse provision is directly affected.
