| memoranda and the giving of testimony before the State Board, |
| 2 |
| by a
proceeding
as for contempt, or otherwise, in the same |
| 3 |
| manner as production of evidence
may be compelled before the |

|
| 5 |
| The State Board shall require all health facilities |
| 6 |
| operating
in this State
to provide such reasonable reports at |
| 7 |
| such times and containing such
information
as is needed by it |
| 8 |
| to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Act.
Prior to |
| 9 |
| collecting information from health facilities, the State Board
|
| 10 |
| shall make reasonable efforts
through a public process to |
| 11 |
| consult with health facilities and associations
that represent |
| 12 |
| them to determine
whether data and information requests will |
| 13 |
| result in useful information for
health planning, whether
|
| 14 |
| sufficient information is available from other sources, and |
| 15 |
| whether data
requested is routinely collected
by health |
| 16 |
| facilities and is available without retrospective record |
| 17 |
| review. Data
and information requests
shall not impose undue |
| 18 |
| paperwork burdens on health care facilities and
personnel.
|
| 19 |
| Health facilities not complying with this requirement shall be |
| 20 |
| reported
to licensing, accrediting, certifying, or payment |
| 21 |
| agencies as being in
violation
of State law. Health care |
| 22 |
| facilities and other parties at interest shall
have reasonable |
| 23 |
| access, under rules established by the State Board, to all
|
| 24 |
| planning information submitted in accord with this Act |
| 25 |
| pertaining to their
area.
|
| 26 |
| Among the reports to be required by the State Board are |
| 27 |
| facility questionnaires for health care facilities licensed |
| 28 |
| under the Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act, the |
| 29 |
| Hospital Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, or the End |
| 30 |
| Stage Renal Disease Facility Act. These questionnaires shall be |
| 31 |
| conducted on an annual basis and compiled by the Agency. For |
| 32 |
| health care facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care |
| 33 |
| Act, these reports shall include, but not be limited to, the |
| 34 |
| identification of specialty services provided by the facility |
