Explanation
(This amendment provides funding to support the outpatient data reporting system. The 2001 Virginia General Assembly required outpatient surgical data to be added to Virginia’s health care data reporting system. Previously, only inpatient hospital data was included in the data reporting system. Virginia Health Information (VHI) developed the outpatient data reporting system and subsidized its operation until fiscal year 2003 when significant reductions in general fund support required VHI to suspend processing of the outpatient surgical data. The requested funding of $50,000 per year will allow VHI to restore the outpatient data reporting system.)
