11 The department shall develop, implement, and maintain standards
12 under which a managing entity shall collect utilization data
13 from all public receiving facilities situated within its
14 geographic service area. As used in this subsection, the term
15 “public receiving facility” means an entity that meets the
16 licensure requirements of and is designated by the department to
17 operate as a public receiving facility under s. 394.875 and that
18 is operating as a licensed crisis stabilization unit.
19 (a) The department shall develop standards and protocols
20 for managing entities and public receiving facilities to be used
21 for data collection, storage, transmittal, and analysis. The
22 standards and protocols must allow for compatibility of data and
23 data transmittal between public receiving facilities, managing
24 entities, and the department for the implementation and
25 requirements of this subsection. The department shall require
26 managing entities contracted under this section to comply with
27 this subsection by August 1, 2014.
28 (b) A managing entity shall require a public receiving
29 facility within its provider network to submit data in real time
30 or at least daily to the managing entity for:
31 1. All admissions and discharges of clients receiving
32 public receiving facility services who qualify as indigent, as
33 defined in s. 394.4787; and
34 2. Current active census of total licensed beds, the number
35 of beds purchased by the department, the number of clients
36 qualifying as indigent occupying those beds, and the total
37 number of unoccupied licensed beds regardless of funding.
38 (c) A managing entity shall require a public receiving
39 facility within its provider network to submit data on a monthly
40 basis to the managing entity that aggregates the daily data
41 submitted under paragraph (b). The managing entity shall
42 reconcile the data in the monthly submission to the data
43 received by the managing entity under paragraph (b) to check for
44 consistency. If the monthly aggregate data submitted by a public
45 receiving facility under this paragraph is inconsistent with the
46 daily data submitted under paragraph (b), the managing entity
47 shall consult with the public receiving facility to make
48 corrections as necessary to ensure accurate data.
49 (d) A managing entity shall require a public receiving
50 facility within its provider network to submit data on an annual
51 basis to the managing entity which aggregates the data submitted
52 and reconciled under paragraph (c). The managing entity shall
53 reconcile the data in the annual submission to the data received
54 and reconciled by the managing entity under paragraph (c) to
55 check for consistency. If the annual aggregate data submitted by
56 a public receiving facility under this paragraph is inconsistent
57 with the data received and reconciled under paragraph (c), the
58 managing entity shall consult with the public receiving facility
59 to make corrections as necessary to ensure accurate data.
60 (e) After ensuring accurate data under paragraphs (c) and
61 (d), the managing entity shall submit the data to the department
62 on a monthly and annual basis. The department shall create a
63 statewide database for the data described under paragraph (b)
64 and submitted under this paragraph for the purpose of analyzing
65 the payments for and the use of crisis stabilization services
66 funded by the Baker Act on a statewide basis and on an
67 individual public receiving facility basis.
68 (f) The department shall adopt rules to administer this
69 subsection.
70 (g) The department shall submit a report by January 31,
71 2015, and annually thereafter, to the Governor, the President of
72 the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives
73 which provides details on the implementation of this subsection,
