§ 31-53-20. Legislative findings; public policy declaration.
The General Assembly finds that: Cost of care, diagnostic metrics, care gaps, and best practices are best analyzed with large-scale data; The current data infrastructure must be adapted to adequately integrate state and private resources in a manner that will serve the divergent needs of the state; All components of state data collection and dissemination infrastructure must be more strategic and better coordinated to serve policy makers and health care providers; and A more robust data base will also serve as a platform to provide resources to the public for healthy living and cost transparency. The General Assembly, therefore, declares it to be the public policy of this state to unite the major stakeholders of the state's health care system under a common data platform. The public policy of the state will be served by restructuring data silos to inform policy makers, health care providers, and consumers. (Code 1981, § 31-53-20 , enacted by Ga. L. 2019, p. 148, § 2-2/HB 186.)
