Summary

Required reports under certain earlier sections must be sent regularly, at least once a month, and in the format the Secretary decides. Reporting had to start by a date no later than one year after November 14, 1986. Reports go to the Secretary or, if the Secretary allows, to a public or private agency that has agreed to receive, store, protect, and share the information. Payments from malpractice claims must also be sent to the State licensing board where the claim arose. Other reports about health care entities must go to the licensing board where the entity is located if they were not already sent to that board under the Secretary’s allowed arrangements.
