DIGEST : This bill updates obsolete terminology in existing
statute used in the reporting of health data information by
specified health facilities to the Office of Statewide Health
Planning and Development (OSHPD) in order to be consistent with

Hospital Discharge Abstract Data Record that currently

includes 19 elements of data per admission.
2.Requires hospitals, commencing January 1, 2004, to file with
OSHPD an Emergency Care Data Record and an Ambulatory Surgery
Data Record, each with 15 elements of data per patient.
3.Required OSHPD, commencing July 2002 through July 2006, to
publish risk-adjusted outcome reports in accordance with a
schedule that required reports to be published on three
conditions or procedures each year for five years, for a total
of 15 reports by July 2006. Required the procedures and
conditions to be reported to be equally divided among medical,
surgical, and obstetric conditions or procedures, and to be
selected by OSHPD in accordance with specified criteria.
This bill:
1.Updates obsolete terminology in existing statute used in the
reporting of health data information by specified health
facilities to OSHPD in order to be consistent with national
standards.
2.Revises the following terms: "principal language spoken" to
"preferred language spoken;" "(condition or external cause)
present at admission" to "(condition or external cause)
present on admission"; and, "external cause of injury" to
"external causes of morbidity."
Prior Legislation
AB 2381 (Mojonnier, Chapter 1326, Statutes of 1984), transferred
the hospital data collection programs from the California Health
Facilities Commission to OSHPD.
SB 680 (Figueroa, Chapter 898, Statutes of 2001), revised the
schedule and expanded the number of reports OSHPD is required to
publish on risk-adjusted outcomes, added physician outcomes for
those reports on surgical conditions or procedures, and
permitted OSHPD to obtain all data elements reasonably necessary
to complete the risk-adjusted outcome reports required.

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to OSHPD, the terminology for
three health data elements currently reported to OSHPD are
outdated when compared to national reporting standards. OSHPD
maintains that aligning with national standards will streamline
patient-level data collection programs, make the data collected
more useful to data users, and reduce regulatory burdens on data
providers.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME), AFL-CIO, writes in support that by modernizing our
health statute, this bill ensures that our data collection terms
match with current national data collection standards. AFSCME
maintains that, as California expands its pool of insured
patients, it is critical to ensure a smooth transition to
compliance with the Affordable Care Act.
