Preamble:
Section 2.2-4011 B of the Code of Virginia states that agencies may adopt emergency regulations in situations in which Virginia statutory law or the appropriation act or federal law or federal regulation requires that a regulation be effective in 280 days or less from its enactment, and the regulation is not exempt under the provisions of § 2.2-4006 A 4 of the Code of Virginia.
Item 307 D1 of Chapter 552 of the 2021 Acts of Assembly, Special Session I, requires inpatient hospitals to report the admission source of any individuals meeting the criteria for voluntary or involuntary psychiatric commitment as outlined in § 16.1-338, 16.1-339, 16.1-340.1, 16.1-345, 37.2-805, 37.2-809, or 37.2-904 of the Code of Virginia to the State Board of Health. The board is required to collect and share such data regarding the admission source of individuals admitted to inpatient hospitals as a psychiatric patient with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS). The information will be shared using a new field in the patient-level data that DBHDS receives from Virginia Health Information (VHI). The amendment adds a field to report criteria for voluntary or involuntary psychiatric commitment to the data collected and shared via VHI to conform with statute.
12VAC5-217-20. Reporting requirements for patient level data elements.
Every inpatient hospital shall submit a complete filing of each patient level data element listed in the table in this section for each hospital inpatient, including a separate record for each infant, if applicable. Most of these data elements are currently collected from a Uniform Billing Form located in the latest publication of the Uniform Billing Manual prepared by the National Uniform Billing Committee. The Uniform Billing Form and the Uniform Billing Manual are located on the National Uniform Billing Committee's website at www.nubc.org. The Uniform Billing Manual provides a detailed field description and any special instruction pertaining to that element. An asterisk (*) indicates when the required data element is either not on the billing form or in the Uniform Billing Manual. The instructions provided under that particular data element should then be followed. Inpatient hospitals that submit patient level data directly to the board or the nonprofit organization shall submit it in an electronic data format.
