Summary

Existing law establishes the Office of Health Information Integrity within the California Health and Human Services Agency to ensure the enforcement of state law mandating confidentiality of medical information and to impose administrative fines for the unauthorized use of medical information. Existing law authorizes the California Health and Human Services Agency, or one of the departments under its jurisdiction, to apply for federal funds made available through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) for health information technology and exchange. This bill would authorize the office to establish and administer demonstration projects to evaluate potential solutions to facilitate health information exchange that promote quality of care, respect the privacy and security of personal health information, and enhance the trust of the stakeholders. This bill would authorize health care entities or governmental authorities, as defined, that receive, share, exchange, or use a California resident's medical information to submit an application with the office to be approved as demonstration project participants, as defined. The bill would authorize the office to approve annually up to 4 projects as demonstration projects. The bill would require any costs associated with the support, assistance, and evaluation of approved demonstration projects to be funded exclusively by the above-described federal funds or other non-General Fund sources. The bill would require the office to report to prescribed committees of the Legislature within 6 months after the end of the project. This bill would become inoperative on the date the Director of the Office of Health Information Integrity executes a declaration stating that the grant period for the above-described federal funds has ended, and as of that date would be repealed.
