PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To incorporate by reference the Florida Trauma Registry Manual and Data Dictionary, January 2014, DOH Pamphlet 150-13.

SUMMARY: The proposed rule language changes the title and date of the current manual and incorporates the 2014 edition of the manual and data dictionary by reference. A copy of the proposed manual is available at the following hyperlink: www.fl-traumasystem.com.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.

Hospitals designated as a verified trauma center are not considered small business as they employ more than 200 permanent, full-time employees and have a net worth of more than $5 million.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: Based on the SERC Checklist and the analysis of the proposed rule’s potential economic impact, the Department determined that the proposed rule does not exceed any of the criteria established in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
