Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding for Sharing of Hospital Discharge Data, between Cochise Health & Social Services and the Arizona Department of Health Services, for a period of three years through April 27, 2018, unless terminated, cancelled or extended as provided for within the agreement.
Background:
Purpose: Subject to availability of data and ADHS resources, ADHS agrees to provide CHSS with Hospital Discharge Data as defined in this MOU in a mutually agreeable format. Sharing of this information will allow CHSS to collect, and eventually analyze data on the health and well being of Cochise County residents, current health trends, concerns, needs, improvements and other areas. It will be a highly valuable tool for CHSS in future public health endeavors. Exceptions - Both parties agree that CHSS does not require, and ADHS shall not provide CHSS (except upon specific request) with data files containing any of the following information related to any individual county resident: (i) signatures, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses; (ii) employee identification numbers, passwords or PINs, credit report information, answers to security questions and other similar personal identifiers; (iii) individual's government-issued identification number (including driver's license number or state-issued identified number); and (iv) financial account number, credit card number, debit card number, credit report information, with or without any required security code, access code, personal identification number or password, that would permit access to an individual’s financial account or accounts. Selection Criteria - ADHS will select records to give to CHSS if the record meets this criterion: for residents within Cochise County, registered within Cochise County, submitted by a facility within Cochise County, or remains transported within Cochise County for inclusion. Data elements that ADHS will provide in the data sets may include any data element permitted by this MOU and that is specifically requested by CHSS for inclusion. Data Requests - To request data CHSS must submit a request in writing to ADHS. Following initial release of data under this MOU, CHSS may request updated data as needed.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
CHSS will not be able to enter into this highly valuable date sharing agreement with ADHS, allowing for CHSS to collect and analyze important health related statistical data in regards to Cochise County, its residents, and the current health trends of our population.
